The World Class Development programme caters for athletes who are within three to six years of reaching a World or Olympic podium. Athletes deemed closer to podium are normally funded at D level. E and F levels support athletes 5 to 6 years from the podium, already proven individuals currently recovering from injury, and previously successful athletes who show the potential to regain World Class levels of performance. Again for Disabled athletes the criteria are tighter, and athletes have to be within four years of reaching the podium to be funded at this level. As of April 2006 this became a UK wide programme, as has always been the case with the Podium programme, and hence athletes will be matched against their counterparts across all of the home countries.
