Getting an Award
Introducing The Sections
There are four Sections that need to be completed at each level (with an extra requirement at Gold level). As you move through the levels a higher degree of commitment is required, but you can choose your own activities for each Section and complete the requirements with things that you enjoy doing!
The hours and months required for each Section are minimums and we encourage you to go over and above this to get the most out of The Programme for yourself. You can tackle each Section one at a time or do them all at once...it's all up to you!
