| Update on Level 3 Technical Modules From 1st April 2012 the sign off procedure for the Level 3 modules will change. This will no longer be offered on the module day for all disciplines except Tumbling (this will remain for Tumbling as there are disciplines that have overlap and can pick up the skills within a day at this level). This decision has been made following feedback from tutors and candidates from module days over the last two years. The level 3 modules are busy practical days and candidat es need time to go back into their clubs and work on the skills for a further period of time, before looking to sign off on the skills for each module. |
