The Duke of Edinburgh Award is composed of 4 sections:
-Skill
-Physical
-Volunteering
-Expedition

Completing a Duke of Edinburgh award is a life-changing adventure. You will learn lots of new skills and do things you didn’t realise you could do.

Any young person can do their DofE – regardless of ability, gender, background or location. Achieving an Award isn’t a competition or about being first. It’s all about setting personal challenges and pushing personal boundaries.

Through a DofE programme young people have fun, make friends, improve their self-esteem and build confidence. They gain essential skills and attributes for work and life such as resilience, problem-solving, team-working, communication and drive, enhancing CVs and university and job applications. Top employers recognise the work-ready skills Award holders bring to their business.
