What is the Bronze Arts Award?
The Bronze Arts Award is a Level 1 qualification on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). It’s designed to celebrate and support young people’s creativity, helping them build confidence and develop their own artistic voice.

The program is open to children aged 11+ (but flexible for those ready to stretch themselves creatively). It’s structured around four parts — A, B, C, and D — to make the journey simple and rewarding.

The award requires 60 hours of guided and independent learning.
