Independent learning, made achievable from Level 1. The Foundation Project Qualification lands this September.

From September 2026, the FPQ gives Level 1 learners a supported way to choose a topic, plan a project, research it and present what they’ve found.

Same plan, do, review engine our wider qualifications and built for learners working at Level 1. They pick the subject, set the scope with support and see a project through start to finish. Thinking, decision making, self-awareness and communication, evidenced in one piece of work.

ASDAN’s project qualification portfolio is growing. 🙌

From September 2026, two new qualifications join the line-up. The Foundation Project Qualification at Level 1 and the Higher Project Qualification at Level 2, sitting alongside the Extended Project Qualification at Level 3. A complete project-based pathway from Level 1 right through to Level 3.

The idea behind it is simple. Learning is most powerful when it’s personal. Project qualifications let learners choose a topic that matters to them, plan it, work it through and show what they can do. Problem solving, communication, creativity and adaptability, evidenced in a piece of work they actually care about.

As well as the new qualifications, our Short Course library on Equitas keeps growing too. The more we build into the platform, the more choice centres have in one place.

Esports looks like gaming. What it actually builds is teamwork, communication and leadership. 🎮

“What we want to demonstrate within this course is that the things you enjoy, the things you do for a hobby and have a passion for, are absolutely in a position to be used as evidence for succeeding.”

James Fraser-Murison, co-creator of ASDAN’s Esports Short Course with Fraser Esports.

Six modules: intro to esports, careers and pathways, health and safety, building an esports business, branding and communications, team leadership. Around 10 to 60 accredited hours, for learners aged 13+.

Engagement happens where learners already care. Esports is one of those places.

Independent thinking is hard to teach. The EPQ teaches it by doing.

The Extended Project Qualification is a Level 3 qualification that asks learners to choose a topic, plan their own project, research it deeply and present their findings. It’s roughly equivalent to half an A-Level and recognised across UCAS.

Autonomy is the engine. Learners pick their own subject, set their own deadlines, manage their own scope. By the end, they’ve evidenced thinking, decision making, self-awareness and communication. Four of our six core skills, in one piece of work.
