Once a fully completed self - assessment has been received by the NYA, it will normally take anything from 8 to 10 weeks to complete the external assessment and report; final verification of the achievement of the national award - if appropriate - is made at the next available meeting of the NYA's Board of Trustees, which are normally held quarterly.
