I am pleased to offer AQA Unit Award Scheme units through Alice Cook Education, an approved centre, for school students who want to gain certificates as recognition of their hard work and learning.
A way to engage students with their learning by offering certificates for learning recognised and marked by a professional tutor. It can boost confidence among younger students and inspire teenagers to explore areas related to their future careers.
It is great for students with learning differences or those who are driven to connect their interests to learning. It recognises small steps in learning for those who find it more difficult, or extra-curricular learning for those interested in other topics outside of school.
With over 23,000 units to choose from (and custom ones available upon request), there is certainly something for everyone!
Students may enjoy extra-curricular units such as:
🌟Using Minecraft to build a small village
🌟Astronomy: Making a model of the solar system
🌟Designing a dream football team
Or learning related to school subjects like:
🌟Mathematics: Planning a holiday
🌟English: Communicating and organising clearly
No, as the units are not standardised or marked by examiners.
I mark each unit, provide feedback and advise changes if needed, before sending evidence off to AQA to request certificates.
There are no exams, just tutor-marked work.
Evidence can be as creative as you would like! Canva is a popular choice, alongside Word documents and handwritten work or collages.
No, everything can be completed independently by the student with a help from an adult if needed.
Students receiving tutoring from Alice Cook Education are welcome to simultaneously work towards AQA units to gain certificates for their studies at a reduced cost.
The academic year is September to August, as decided by AQA. The earlier in the academic year you sign up, the more you will be able to get out of the scheme.
