The National Framework of Awards in Non-Formal Educational Settings maps the full range of awards, from Asdan to Youthtrain, including the joint NYA and NIACE Young Adult Learners Partnership's "Getting Connected" scheme and other well known schemes such as The Duke of Edinburgh's Award and the Youth Achievement Award.
