AQA Unit Award Programmes, Distance Bespoke Learning and Activity Box Provision
Inspired Ed provides flexible, personalised learning programmes that can be built around the AQA Unit Award Scheme. Our programmes are designed for learners who benefit from a different approach to education, including learners with SEND, autism, PDA, anxiety, emotionally based school non attendance (EBSA or EBSNA), as well as those accessing EOTAS/EOTIS, alternative provision or elective home education (EHE).
Learning can take place at home, through a tutor or as part of a wider education package. Each programme is adapted to the learner’s interests, abilities, educational needs and intended outcomes. Progress is recognised in manageable steps, helping learners build confidence, motivation and a meaningful record of achievement.
Who is the AQA Unit Award Scheme For?
The scheme can support learners of different ages, abilities and educational backgrounds. It is particularly useful for learners who benefit from flexible pacing, practical activities, interest-led learning or a reduced-pressure environment.
It can be used by learners with SEND, autism, PDA, SEMH needs, anxiety, EBSA or EBSNA. It can also support learners who are electively home educated, receiving EOTAS or EOTIS provision, attending alternative provision, awaiting a specialist placement or unable to access traditional education because of medical or emotional needs.
Our programmes can also be suitable for anyone who learns more successfully through a flexible, personalised approach.
Why Choose AQA Unit Awards?
AQA Unit Awards allow learners to experience success without the pressure of formal examinations or a fixed timetable. Every completed unit provides visible recognition of progress and gives the learner something concrete to be proud of.
The scheme can help learners rebuild confidence, improve engagement and develop motivation. It can also provide useful evidence for parents, schools, tutors, commissioners and other professionals.
Certificates can contribute to a wider portfolio of achievement and may support transitions into further education, training, employment, volunteering or more advanced learning. They can also demonstrate progress towards EHCP outcomes, personal-development targets and wider educational goals.
Our Programmes
AQA Registration and Assessment
This option is for families, tutors, schools and providers who are already delivering learning but require access to AQA Unit Award certification.
You choose suitable units and support the learner in completing the required criteria. The work can be completed in any appropriate format, provided that there is clear evidence for each part of the unit.
Evidence is then submitted to Inspired Ed. We assess the work, confirm that the criteria have been met and complete the certification process.
This option is suitable for home educators, independent tutors, schools, community groups and alternative providers that want to add recognised achievement to learning they already deliver.
Personalised Distance Learning Programme
Our personalised distance-learning programme includes planning, resources, assessment and AQA certification.
We begin by developing a learner profile. This helps us understand the learner’s interests, current abilities, preferred ways of working, educational needs and intended outcomes.
Suitable AQA units are then selected and organised into a personalised programme. All learning resources are supplied digitally, allowing the learner to work from home or another suitable setting.
Programmes can be delivered one unit at a time or arranged into themed courses. The pace can be adjusted according to the learner’s needs, and activities can be adapted to make learning accessible and engaging.
Activity Box Programme
The Activity Box Programme includes everything provided through our personalised distance-learning programme, together with a physical box of learning materials.
Each box is designed around the learner’s selected units and may include practical resources, craft materials, printed activities or other items needed to complete the learning.
This option can be particularly helpful for learners who prefer practical, tactile or screen-free activities. It also gives families and settings a convenient package containing the materials required for the programme.
