All about DofE with Be Kassapian

I am an

Approved Activity Provider

(AAP)

for the

Duke of Edinburgh (DofE)

Award Scheme

How does the DofE skills programme work?

To avoid confusion, here are the Duke of Edinburgh guidelines, from their website, for doing your Bronze, Silver or Gold skills:

Which level are you doing?

There are three levels of programme you can do which, when you’ve successfully completed them, lead to a Bronze, Silver or Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

Sectional activities need to average an hour a week, with the first and last activities being the full section duration apart. At Bronze level, it is typical for activities to be weekly. For longer sections at Silver and Gold (potentially at Bronze, depending on the activity), it can help for the activity to be longer (in terms of hours per session) but less often.

Bronze

Skills section: 3 months (+ an optional 3 months)

You also have to spend an extra three months on one of the Volunteering, Physical or Skills sections. It’s your choice which one and, though you can change your mind later, you should decide which section you want to do for longer at the beginning..

Silver

Physical and Skills sections: One section for 6 months and the other section for 3 months

Gold

Physical and Skills sections: One section for 12 months and the other section for 6 months

NOTE: If you jump in with the silver or gold award, there will be an additional requirement, details can be found on the DofE website under 'timescales'.
