National Award projected costs
The costs below have been put together with an estimation of Consultant time. This will depend on a number of circumstances, which include diversity of locations, content, efficiency and organisation of portfolio etc. The first twelve months enabled a more specific costing strategy to be finalised based on actual experience.

The table below shows the timetable for the National Award Assessment Process from February 2008 to December 2009. Following an assessment visit a report would be produced for The NYA which would go before the Quality Standards Committee. The Committee will make a decision about whether or not to grant an award based on the report and that decision would be ratified by The NYA Executive Board. Organisations interested in applying for the National Award should note the submission deadlines for their self-assessment.
