Learning the Ropes Plus is an awards scheme which encourages ringers who have successfully completed the Learning the Ropes scheme and want to progress further. It encourages ringers to become more self-motivated and self-directed. Unlike Learning the Ropes it is not a progressive scheme, as submissions can be made for any category of achievement at any time. Electronic certificates will be issued as for Learning the Ropes.
Submission for certificates under Learning the Ropes Plus can be made by ringers themselves as well as their teachers. There is a need for ART to make provision for further development of accredited teachers therefore this scheme also offers certification to ART Teachers in addition to their ringers.
In order to pass each Level you must complete the required number of extended periods of ringing or courses. A link to these can then be included when recording the Level on SmART Ringer. The extended period of ringing will usually be a quarter peal, but a peal may be rung if preferred. Earlier performances will not be eligible for submission for this scheme. Submissions for conducting achievements must be Doubles or a higher number of bells.
