Cost

To help cover some of scheme's costs there is a small fee for each CREST Award registration (i.e. per person).  The current rates are as follows:

  • Bronze - £4.00
  • Silver - £8.00
  • Gold - £15.00

The registration fee is collected by your CREST Local Coordinator, click here [1] to find their contact details. 

What your CREST Local Coordinator provides

The network of CREST Local Coordinators organise and administer the CREST Awards. They will provide expert guidance throughout the scheme and help you register. Here's a quick run-down of what your Local Coordinators will provide:

  • Registration forms
  • Further project ideas and support
  • Links with mentors in industry or higher education
  • CREST student profile forms, which guide students through their project work
  • Assessment of awards at Silver and Gold level
  • Certificates on completion of the project work
  • Information on funding and sponsorship (if available)
  • Information on CREST regional and national events
  • Your Local Coordinator can also give advice on Gold Award information for independent projects, when students decide to complete project work outside of any structured schemes and networks.

International schools and students

Individual schools in countries outside the UK who wish to participate in CREST Awards can also get involved
