What ages are the awards typically aimed at?
A. Typically in schools the Level One award is started at 8 years old, the Level Two award at 13 years old and the Level 3 at 16 years old. However, there is no reason that they can not start a Level earlier than this provided the pupil achieves competence. For example, talented pupils at Westminster School in the UK are starting the Level 3 award at 14 years of age. The principle is that learners can progress at their own pace. This also applies to adult learners where the target age range is 16 to 90!
