Certificates of Excellence
NEA has for many years, been bestowing our Excellence Award to our highest achievers and shining stars.
Every October, we review the year’s results and recognise, for each of our 11 awards, those learners who have achieved the highest distinction mark for the Discipline and Grade. Learners across the UK and internationally are eligible for the awards which are confirmed by the New Era Board of Directors every September, with recipients advised by the end of October.
Our award recipients have recently received their 2024 NEA Annual Award in our beautiful presentation boxes with certificates and trophies from their teachers by post.
The NEA Excellence Awards are across 3 Categories of Communications, Performance, and Diploma Exams.
