Duke of York award

Is being promoted at DS's school. Does anyone know anything about it? students can work towards Bronze, Silver or God with the first two linked to GSCEs and the Gold to A'levels. I'm not sure what that means in practice.

Our school says, The programme helps you develop digital, enterprise and employability skills. Through a series of online challenges, you can win career-enhancing badges, unlock new opportunities and, ultimately, gain industry recognised awards that help you stand out from the crowd.

What is it like?
What is the work load like? (will it impinge heavily on GCSE work/prep)
Is it worth it?

Thanks.

Would that be the Digital Enterprise Award?

Speak to the school - they will be able to give you good advice about the workload.

Yes, that it is.
