How Long Will It take Me?
It will usually take you at least 6 months to complete your Bronze programme.
It will take you at least 6 months for Silver if you've already achieved your Bronze, or 12 months if you've jumped straight into Silver.
For Gold, you'll need to do your programme for at least 12 months if you've got your Silver Award, or
18 months if you've started at Gold level without doing Silver- even if you've done Bronze.
We've put the length of time in months - you need to show regular activity and commitment during this time of at least an hour a week. You can't achieve an Award in a short burst of enthusiasm over one weekend!
Remember, all activities for a D of E programme MUST be completed by your 25th birthday.
Once you've done the minimum amount of time needed to complete your D of E programme, we're sure that you'll have had so much fun that you'll want to keep on doing your activities!
