Course summary

Choose the things which you love to do or try something completely new, test your limits, enhance your skills and grow your confidence. It’s your award, so do it your way. DofE is a life-changing experience. A fun time with friends, and an opportunity to discover new interests and talents. You can get to develop essential skills for life and work. If you pass the award, you’ll get a mark of achievement which is recognized by employers and UCAS (if Gold is completed). It isn’t about competition or about being first. It’s about you, setting personal challenges and pushing your personal boundaries. If you complete your Gold award, you will have this presented to you by a member of the Royal Family at one of the palaces.
