Avaline Assessment and Qualifications (AAQ), established in 2020, was a response to the challenges faced by many Chinese students. Today, AAQ stands as a pillar of support, operating in the UK and mainland China, guiding students towards successful entry into universities in Australia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Asia and China.
AAQ covers Level 3 Diploma (pre-university), Pre-master, Vocational and Pre-sessional English programmes.
AAQ runs its Diploma Level 3 qualifications via Avaline School learning centres across China. At the same time, some are embedded in local schools alongside the international department of the schools. Its bespoke curriculum combines the A-Level curriculum with the skillset training required for a smooth transition and building the bedrock for success in university. In addition to the A-Level subjects, additional skills and competencies in the various subjects (e.g., Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Economics, Business, etc.) are also provided, including academic research and learning skills with subject-related academic English. At the end of the programme, students will sit the Diploma Level 3 examination in 3 core subjects. Students can also study part of the programme in our UK centres or affiliated colleges. The meticulously constructed and assessed AAQ Level 3 Diploma qualification is designed to push students slightly beyond the academic limits of A level, ensuring they are well-prepared for the rigours of university education.
Our Pre-master programmes offer two pathways: business and IT/Computing. These pathways are designed to meet the needs of students from the same area of study or as a conversion tool for them to bridge onto selected master courses. The business pathways enhance students' ability to progress to a wide range of programmes such as management, administration, finance, marketing, and economics courses. The programmes are delivered in our various study centres or embedded within international colleges and relevant schools in Chinese universities across China. The curricula are tailor-made to ensure a seamless transition, considering our university partners' advice and needs to lead students to success ultimately.
Our vocational programmes are designed to support Chinese vocational schools and colleges in designing an international curriculum. These programmes include bespoke programmes with teaching materials and train-the-trainers sessions. The provincial governments endorse these programmes, and we contribute to the efforts to lead the reform in vocational education nationwide. By partnering with us, one can be part of this impactful initiative and contribute to the advancement of vocational education in China.
AAQ is committed to maintaining high academic standards and ensuring academic credibility and integrity. We implement external quality assurance and moderation, benchmarking our operations against UK-based examination boards and regulatory demands. This guarantees a robust and internationally recognised qualification, instilling confidence in students' educational journey.
