What Makes Our DofE-Approved Cooking Courses the Best Choice?

Be Kassapian is an Approved Activity Provider for DofE and specialises in delivering the Best Duke of Edinburgh Cooking Skills classes for teenagers wanting outstanding Affordable DofE Cooking Skills courses.

NO NEED FOR AAP?

If you are doing your bronze award and have a neighbour or other appropriate adult who does not live at home to assess your cooking, you may not need an Approved Activity Provider. This will save you money, but do check with your school DofE coordinator before purchasing your course.

Already purchased a course for another sibling?

If you have previously bought a course for a teenager in your family and you wish to use the same course for a younger sibling, you can just book the AAP Support Package.

What the parents have to say...

DofE online course testimonials:

Dear Be, Thank you for empowering and inspiring Lola to cook nutritious plant-based meals at home! She makes herself delicious lunches for school and has taken over making dinners for the family most nights of the week. Lola is a ???? chef - from meal planning to shopping at the farmer's market, from chopping and spicing to baking and plating, her meals are prepared with know-how and love. Your DofE course has given us yet another reason why we are the luckiest parents in the world to have Lola for a kid! Kind regards, Liza


Thank you so much Be. I personally have really enjoyed watching her create and learn through this course. The recipes were varied and delicious and the delivery of the course was simple and clear. Wishing you a lovely summer ahead. Very best wishes, Catriona


Thank you soooo much, Be, for your support and in particular for the lightning quick response on this final section. Matthew has learnt loads (and I have also benefited as my cooking skills are very limited!). This has provided the structure and inspiration he needed. I've been recommending you to a number of Mums I know :-) Best wishes for a fabulous summer. Kind regards Helen

Success stories from DofE cookery students


Thank you so much for my feedback I really enjoyed it the recipes you sent me, they were really tasty but relatively simple to remember, i think they will be useful if I go to university or if i’m home alone for awhile to make. I’d say the banana protein pancakes were definitely the most fun to make as-well as the most tasty. Today my Dad made the granola again he really enjoyed it!

Thank you from Jamie


Hi Be!! ..... thank you so much, it has been so much fun to cook these recipes. Thank you! Have a great Easter and hope you are well. Lily



Hello, Thank you so much for sharing this with me! I loved this class and it has really developed my skills in the kitchen. Kind Regards, Mia


Thank you so much for your continued support over these 6 months. I've enjoyed your recipes immensely and will continue to cook! Best wishes, Lola

How to complete the DofE Skill section with an online cookery course:

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'.
