Important Enrolment Information
SENshine Tutoring is currently transitioning from ASDAN accreditation to the AQA Unit Award Scheme.
ASDAN courses are still available to enrol on for a limited time, with the final enrolment date of 13 April 2026. This allows learners plenty of time to complete their course before the final completion deadline of 1 April 2027.
Families may choose to enrol on an ASDAN course now, or wait for the new AQA unit-based courses launching from September, where learners will gain certificates for individual units as they progress.
