Requirement · part of 4.3.3.0. Apply for a time extension

4.3.3.0. Keep working while the request is decided

Required May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Can the requirements be finished before the 21st birthday?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

The Guide says so explicitly. A Venturer who stops on the day of the request loses the weeks the decision takes, and those are weeks that may not be recoverable.

Warning. Carry on working while the request is decided. The Guide says so in as many words, and a Venturer who downs tools on the day of the application has thrown away however long the decision takes.

Where this step comes from

  1. Guide to Advancement (2025), Section 4.3.3.0 · The Venturer should continue working on the requirements until a final decision is delivered.
