Re-Registration

Each course has a specified registration period and the learner must complete all aspects of the learning programme and assessment within that registration period. 

•  Level 1 courses the registration period is 12 months. 
•  Level 2 and above courses the registration period is 24 months.
•  Judging courses have a registration period of 24 months to complete all aspects of the learning programme and assessment. However, should a judging course be taken less than 24 months prior to the start of a new judging cycle then the course must be completed prior to the start of the new cycle qualifications becoming active.

If the learner fails to complete all aspects of the course within the registration period a re-registration fee will be charged where re-registration is possible for the course, except in extenuating circumstances where an extension may be granted at the discretion of Scottish Gymnastics. It is the responsibility of the learner to contact the course organiser as soon as possible with supporting evidence where applicable.
Fee – £50

Where the learner does not apply for an extension or re-register within a year beyond the registration period, they will be required to repeat the course.
