How to earn learning credits

Children and young people earn one CU credit per hour of learning by taking part in activities at:

  • school during lunchtime, or before / after (if their school subscribes)
  • approved activity providers (Learning Destinations) outside of school hours
  • by completing Home Learning Challenges

The more children take part, the more credits they earn. The more credits they earn the more awards they get.

Earning credits at subscribed schools

Children earn credits at school activities during lunchtime, before or after-school.
