National Qualification
Hi, welcome to the ASDAN Certificate of Personal Effectiveness (CoPE) qualification. This qualification is available at Level 1 (GCSE grade E-F) and/or Level 2 (GCSE grade B).
This Boxing educational programme has been put together in partnership with the national awarding body ASDAN to give everybody a chance to gain a qualification in a sport they are taking part in or maybe even competing at.
The qualification recognises and accredits the achievements and skills of people in that great Olympic sport, Amateur Boxing. For CoPE you need to achieve two things:
Firstly you must gain 12 credits through Boxing activities over 120 hours. This can be done by choosing from different options.
Secondly you show how you are developing certain key skills through Boxing. These are skills that are highly valued by employers and other educational establishments. They are: working together with others, improving your own learning, problem solving, discussion, research and giving a presentation.
For this qualification there is no exam. You put good and clear evidence of your achievements and skills into a portfolio (a file or folder) and gain credits as you go along. You can use many forms of evidence when putting your portfolio together: written, photographic, taped, oral and even video evidence.
You could use your boxing club links to gain the skills criteria information, and the regional association to widen your information support.
Remember... "Don't think you can, know you can"
Yours in sport,
