Bronze Good Citizen Dog courses comprise seven weeks of tuition, with the test on week eight. The test is not compulsory, if you want to train and not take the test that is fine; if you don't feel you are ready you can take it at a later date.
Silver and Gold Good Citizens courses are ongoing. You will be put forward for the test once you are ready. We find this approach works better than having a set time frame as it allows people (and dogs!) to learn at their own rate and take the test when the required standard has been reached.
