The Award Scheme is changing...
The BCA have updated the award scheme. Although the syllabus is remaining unchanged the award scheme has been tidied up a little and so “Level 1” is not more! The award has been renamed simply the Local Mine Leader (or Cave Leader) Award, with Vertical (and other) qualification added to you Mine (or Cave) certificate. Management of the scheme has been shifted on-line making for (hopefully) a easier scheme for candidates to navigate. For more information click here to visit the BCA website
