Why ASET?
ASET work closely with A Foot Above Training to continually improve our assessment criteria. This enhances the learning experience for all our students.
Our ASET centre licence (Ref: AFABO) demonstrates ASET’s recognition of our standards and systems for teaching, learning, assessment, internal
verification and student support. It also signifies that we have been approved by ASET to deliver ASET awards and qualifications. We can guarantee that we meet ASET’s quality standards for learning providers.
These include:
- Quality standards for the competence of our staff
- Standards for the quality of our training resources
- Standards for our assessment procedures
- Our own robust quality assurance process
An ASET Licence is not a simple thing to get and keep.
To maintain the licence our internal quality assurance systems,
learning resources, staffing and academic management are all rigorously assessed by ASET through their Quality Auditors who regularly inspect the Training Centre.
The ASET National Award
All ASET Accredited Courses lead to a Nationally Recognised ASET Award.
That means that the courses are independently accredited at a level of learning equivalent to at least level 3 on the National Qualifications
Framework (NQF) for England, Wales and Northern Ireland (in which GCSEs are at levels 1 and 2 and A-Levels are at level 3).
The Award has been designed by the learning provider to meet specific learners’ or employers requirements and as such is not listed as a
qualification on NQF. While the duration, content or assessment may vary from similar national qualifications, in accrediting the programme
at level 3, ASET attests that its learning outcomes are at an equivalent level to a level 3 National Qualification.
What does the ASET Certificate mean?
An ASET certificate signifies that the student has completed one of our high quality programmes of learning and that the student has reached clearly specified outcomes at a defined level which are up-to-date,
relevant and appropriate to the programme area studied.
