aqa uas tree_edited_edited.png
 
Registration and enrolment is for one academic year which starts
1st September and finishes 21st July. 
​It is possible to start at any time in the year however the annual AQA UAS registration fee of £30 would still apply
 
​Arty Artisans aim is to ensure all learners can access, complete and achieve their chosen units.
The learner will build a portfolio of work which will document, record and evidence their learning of their chosen Art and Design unit/s. Each completed unit will be awarded with a AQA unit award scheme certificate which will acknowledge and recognize their achievement for each unit completed.

How it works

  • For Key Stage 1&2  I will select the units based on our weekly sessions which will be chosen based on your interests.

  • For Key Stage 3&4 you will be given a choice of UAS Art and Design units that map to GCSE specifications to chose from these will be based on your individual interest, inspirations and aspirations.

 

 (AQA UAS Art & Design unit choices will be made during our first sessions.) 

  •  The learner will then attended weekly sessions to create a portfolio of work towards achieving their AQA UAS units

     

  • Once the learner has completed a unit​ I will assess the unit then submit to AQA for certification

Certification

A Unit Award Scheme certificate is issued each time a student completes a unit. It lists all the unit outcomes, providing a record of the knowledge, skills and understanding achieved.

The Unit Award Scheme is a unique way to record learner achievement

​The Unit Award Scheme (UAS) allows all students to engage with learning and have their achievements formally recognised.

​Learners are rewarded with a certificate each time they successfully complete a unit of learning.

They can build up a portfolio of certificates to evidence their skills, knowledge and experience.

The scheme boosts confidence, increases engagement and improves motivation,

helping learners to make progress on their life long learning journey.
