What is the AQA Unit Award Scheme?

• The AQA Unit Award Scheme provides the opportunity to give students formal recognition of their success in short units of work.
• The Scheme promotes effective teaching and learning by ensuring that those writing and delivering units give careful consideration to learning outcomes, evidence and assessment and by setting down clear targets for students.
  Who uses the Scheme?
• The Unit Award Scheme is used by approximately 1000 centres throughout the United Kingdom (schools, colleges, special education establishments, pupil referral units, hospital education services etc) to recognise student achievement across a wide range of subject areas and activities.
• It can be used with students of any ability and of any age.
  What certification is provided?
• Success in each unit is recognised on an ongoing basis through the issue of a Unit Award Statement which details the outcomes demonstrated by the student in successfully completing the unit.
• This recognition of success has been shown to motivate students and improve their performance.
• Each student also receives a summary Letter of Credit which lists, by title, all the units he/she has completed.
