Tîm Aber All Stars Accreditation

Posted on by admin

The Tîm Aber All Stars accreditation scheme is how AberSU recognises the development of our sports clubs and societies, as well as celebrating the brilliant things they achieve. Our scheme helps you compare your progress, make sure you’re delivering the best possible experience for your members, boost your reputation, and gain access to a number of group benefits!

If you have any questions about the accreditation scheme, please feel free to contact your Student Opportunity Officer at suopportunities@aber.ac.uk

How does it work?

Each group of students affiliated with AberSU is enrolled in the scheme. Your group can be recognized as:

Level 1: Started Level 2: In development Level 3: Good Level 4: Excellent

To advance to the next level, you’ll need to:

  • Check the All Stars criteria, which can be found below or

    • in your student groups Microsoft Teams page

  • Send relevant evidence in the attached folder in your student groups Page

Staff will review the evidence presented quarterly and update it accordingly. Alternatively, email your Student Opportunity Officer (Rachel) when you think you have reached a new level

of accreditation.

  • You can track

your progress in the attachment on your group’s MS team

While the biggest benefit of participating in the scheme is a highly effective student pool, rewards are offered to those who earn accreditation.
