How do we accredit?

We can accredit 10, 30 or 60 hours of work through our partner awarding body ASDAN.

How does it work?

You start by resgistering for the course. Once registered for the course, you can access all the forms in the members area.  

Fill in the getting started forms. 

You will then complete the first three mandatory modules (below) and keep your portfolio of evidence. 

Once you’ve completed these, you will fill in the finishing documents and send us the evidence.

Once we’ve received everything from the first three modules, we will send you the rest of the course which includes further instructions to achieve the full 60 hour qualification. You can then pick what interests you most challenges in the following four modules:

  1. UNESCO and World Heritage.
  2. Being a World Heritage Youth Ambassador.
  3. World Heritage Museums and Heritage Sites.
  4. World Heritage Site trips and visits.

You will work through a series of challenges from these modules and create a portfolio of your work.

Once you’ve completed your challenges, you will complete a learning review and get someone to peer review you (this can be a parent or friend, or even us if you’ve engaged with us online!) You will then upload all your work to a platform of your choice, email or post to us.

Once we’ve received it, we will assess the work and either provide guidance to achieve a pass or award you the qualification and you can get your free hoody!
