The Duke of Edinburgh's Award (the DofE) is an personal development accreditation programme that offers young people the chance to take part in a range of activities across a range of activities.
Having an award shows colleges, universities and employers that you are able to undertake and complete a chellenge, improve your skills through learning, and work as part of a team.
From Volunteering, developing a Skill or hobby, improving in Physical fitness and taking part in an Expedition as part of a team - you'll live life as an adventure! The DofE is brilliant for personal development, but it is also highly regarded by employers ranking higher than even work experience.
If you'd like to find out more about where you can take part, drop us a line or find more detailed information about the DofE Programme at www.DofE.org
Specific Covid 19 Support
DofE is still open for business during the Covid-19 emergency. You can enrol and do your award now, and do your Volunteering, Physical and Skills Sections - and also start expedition training online!
