Nominees commonly have the below qualifications:

Students can be studying qualifications as a single, double or triple award (certificate, diploma, extended diploma). This can be at either Level 2 or at Level 3.  

We would ideally like nominations for learners in Level 3 Year 1 so that they can get the most benefit out of the resources created as part of the awards to raise aspirations and confidence. 

We are looking for students studying subjects that could take them onto Higher Education and not trade subjects such as Beauty, Bricklaying, Plumbing etc.
