For Individuals
We aim to bring individuals together on our open programmes for Bronze, Silver and Gold expeditions and Gold residentials.
Open programmes are perfect if your school doesn't run expeditions, you can't make your school or group's dates, you don't have a group to take part with or you fancy meeting new people while having an adventure.
Our instructors are experienced at bringing people together, helping you to feel welcome and mentoring you and your team mates to success.

DofE for Young Adults and Trainees for Business
DofE is the worlds best-known and most respected kite mark of youth achievement. No other activity offers such a rounded programme of personal development, which is why large businesses offer the DofE awards to their colleagues under 25.
If you are an individual, trainee or worker over 18 and would like to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh scheme then you can chose the award pathway that suits you.
D of E have launched DofE Direct which is a new way to achieve your Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award; online and independently without the need to attend weekly sessions at a local DofE centre. You’ll be able to progress through your DofE activities in your own time with dedicated support from a DofE Leader via email and telephone. If you have not got a local DofE group nearby or the centre you’re currently at doesn’t offer Gold level, you can do your Gold DofE through DofE Direct too. DofE Direct is run through eDofE, the DofE’s online record system. By using eDofE you can access your account at any time, and add a range of evidence to demonstrate your completion of your sections. You will be supported throughout the process by a DofE Leader by phone, email and on eDofE and you can contact them when you need to. So, if you want to achieve your Gold Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, then DofE Direct might be for you!
