AQA Unit Award Scheme Centre
AQA Award
Amanda’s Creature Comforts is a registered AQA Unit Award Scheme (UAS) centre, offering flexible, outcome-based learning across a wide range of subjects.
This allows children and young people to work towards recognised achievement in areas that suit their interests, abilities, and learning needs.
What is the AQA Unit Award Scheme?
The AQA Unit Award Scheme (UAS) recognises small steps in learning, achievement, and personal development.
It is widely used in schools, alternative provision, and home education to support engagement, confidence, and progression.
What we offer
AQA units can be delivered across multiple subject areas, including:
- Animal care and welfare
- Science and environmental topics
- English and communication skills
- Maths and functional skills
- Personal development and wellbeing
- Independent living skills
Programmes can be tailored to suit individual learners or groups.
How it works
- Learning outcomes are agreed in advance
- Learners complete activities and build evidence
- Outcomes are reviewed and submitted
- Certificates are issued through AQA
Who this is suitable for
AQA programmes are particularly valuable for:
- SEN settings
- Alternative provision
- Home education
- Learners who benefit from flexible, personalised approaches
Flexible delivery options
Programmes can be:
- Delivered alongside animal sessions
- Delivered as standalone learning programmes
- Completed in person or through supported independent work
This flexibility allows learning to fit around each setting.
Important note
The Unit Award Scheme recognises achievement of set outcomes but is not a formal qualification.
