It publishes a range of books to accompany its courses, and develops new qualifications based on the needs of the profession.The stated purpose of the charity is:"The advancement of education, by providing opportunities for all learners to develop their personal and social attributes and levels of achievement through ASDAN awards and resources, and the relief of poverty, where poverty inhibits such opportunities for learners."The charity has a relief of poverty fund to help students access its qualifications.ASDAN award programmes and qualifications are usually vocational in nature, and are mainly aimed at students between 11 and 25 years old. They aim to develop the skills of young people who have struggled in academic subjects, but they are also taken by other students. They accredit skills for learning, employment and life, focusing on personal skills development, PSHE, work-related learning, foundation learning, volunteering and special educational needs.Its flagship course is Certificate of Personal Effectiveness (CoPE), which is a nationally recognised qualification. It can be studied in Years 10 and 11 (Scottish S4 and S5), or in post-16 education. It aims to develop skills and knowledge in areas such as communication, citizenship and community, beliefs and values, the environment, health and fitness, and independent living, among other things. Level 1 and 2 CoPE are equivalent to a GCSE at grade E/F and B respectively. The level 3 CoPE offers a tariff of 70 UCAS points towards university admission—almost a full A-level which is normally a full year of work.Asdan is forced in some schools which is often controversial.".
