Discovery, Bronze, Silver and Gold

Students who complete Discovery, Bronze, Silver or Gold Awards, will get a personalised certificate. At Discovery and Bronze level there is also the option to receive certificates without the student name.  The certificate includes the CREST logo and either purple, bronze, silver or gold foil, depending on the award level. We print the student’s name [optional for Discovery and Bronze], school, college or organisation, and project title on each certificate. We’ve included a preview of the personalised certificates below:
