The Student Training Awards & Recognition Scheme is a programme that is developed to help our clubs and societies hit a base standard of operating for its members and to recognise well run, fun and inclusive groups.
The Student Training and Recognition Awards is a scheme to help student groups develop in areas that relate to LSESU core values. They are a fantastic way to gain accreditation for your Club or Society’s achievements from this academic year. They're also great way of attracting new members, guest speakers and sponsors, as they demonstrate that your group is active and operating to a high standard.
