COPE

The Certificate of Personal Effectiveness (CoPE) at Levels 1 and 2 is equivalent to a full GCSE.

The aim of the programmes are to enable young people to understand themselves and others better and to become more prepared for making the transition to adult life. The world they are entering needs adults who are not only capable of acquiring and applying the necessary academic and occupational knowledge and skills, but flexible enough to adapt to the rapid changes taking place and equipped to make active and creative contributions to local, national and international community life.

Personal and social competence is seen as a crucial factor in maximising opportunities for life-long learning and in becoming an effective member of adult society. Such competence may be developed through the negotiation and completion of ASDAN challenges. The emphasis is on co-operation and collaboration, rewarding achievement and assisting progression of learning; these principles apply to both students and staff involved.
