My student is changing schools. How can they complete their CREST award?

If your student is moving schools in the middle of a CREST project, you may need to make special arrangements for them to complete and assess the project. Usually, this would only happen for Silver and Gold awards, which can take many weeks of work to complete. 

If you registered your student’s project with a local CREST coordinator, contact us to find out how you can move this.

If you registered your student’s project online yourself, you will need to work with their new teacher to complete the project. We are not able to move projects between CREST accounts at present.
