The programme covers the age groups of young people (14-15 years old), young people (16-17 years old) and young people (18-19 years old). Children aged 12 to 13 can also be partially included as potential candidates in the future.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n<p>The program is based on <strong>a holistic approach<\/strong> that involves testing and evaluating both physical and psychological aspects.
