To gain the certificate, the Young Enterprise student must:

1. Complete YE Course Requirements level 3, 10 credit equivalents

2. Pass the YE Exam level 3, 14 credit equivalents

The components can be acquired separately and counted towards NCEA in different years.  For example, a student can participate in the Lion Foundation Young Enterprise Scheme in 2011, pass the YE Exam and fulfil the YE Course requirements in that year, and count the YE Course Requirements for NCEA in 2011 and the YE Exam for NCEA in 2012.

Credit exclusions apply to the YE Course Requirements. Credit Exclusion
