The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) is a life-changing adventure you don’t want to miss. It’s about going the extra mile – learning new skills for work and life, getting fitter, helping others, and exploring the countryside.
Millions of young people in the UK have already done their DofE. Now it’s your turn!
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is a balanced and progressive programme of activities for young people. It focuses on individual achievement in which any young person can take part and which everyone can enjoy. It is flexible enough to meet each young person’s enthusiasm and aptitudes whatever their background or ability.
There are three levels of the Award; Bronze, Silver and Gold.
At each level young people choose activities from all three sections:
- Volunteering
- Skills
- Physical
There is also the expedition to complete.
Achieving an award on The Duke of Edinburgh scheme is not just a fantastic personal achievement. It is very highly regarded by employers and universities.
