IMPORTANT DETAILS
- ACCREDITATION

‍Future Leaders is an accredited programme, which means your participation doesn’t just end with experiences—it’s recognised with a formal qualification. This adds serious value to your CV and future applications (and makes you look extra impressive at family gatherings).

- ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS:

To receive accreditation and be eligible for trips, maintaining an attendance of 95% or higher is essential. This applies to both the in-person and online programmes.
‍
- In-Person Programme:
You must attend 95% of the face-to-face sessions to remain eligible. We promise it’s worth it—you don’t want to miss out!

- Online Programme: While the same attendance requirement applies, online students have the flexibility to complete sessions at their own pace, as long as they meet the weekly deadlines. So no excuses—Netflix can wait!
‍
- PROGRAMME START:

The programme begins in October/November, depending on your location.
ELIGIBILITY
At Future Leaders, we don’t select based on grades; we select based on your potential and who you are as a person.  So when filling out your application, just be yourself and let your personality shine through. However, we do need four things from you:
‍
1. PARENTAL CONSENT: Your parent or guardian will need to give their approval for you to join the programme. After all, they’ll want to know about the amazing journey you’re about to embark on!
‍
2. TEACHER REFERENCE: We’ll ask for the name and email of a teacher who can vouch for your character and potential. Don’t worry—we’re not interested in your detention history, just your future!

3. COMMITMENT: We’re looking for students who are ready to fully engage and make the most of this opportunity. So, bring your enthusiasm, curiosity, and a willingness to grow!

4. YEAR 12 STATUS: You must be a Year 12 student in the UK. If that’s you, then you’re eligible to apply and join us on this exciting journey!
