Duke of Edinburgh

Unleash Potential. Forge Futures. The Duke of Edinburgh's Award.

More than just a badge, the DofE is a life-altering adventure. It empowers young people across the UK to conquer challenges, discover hidden talents, and build rock-solid skills that employers crave. From navigating wild terrains to mastering new crafts, participants develop resilience, teamwork, and leadership – qualities that shine in any workplace.

"The DofE taught me to push beyond my comfort zone," says Sarah, a Gold Award holder now working in marketing. "It showed me I could achieve more than I ever thought possible."

Research shows DofE participants are more likely to be employed and earn higher salaries. Over 300,000 young people take part each year, learning vital skills like problem-solving, communication, and self-management.

"It wasn't just about the expedition; it was about learning to work with others, even when things got tough," explains Tom, now a project manager. "That experience is invaluable in my job today."

The DofE isn't just an award; it's an investment in your future. It's about unlocking your potential and building the skills that will set you apart. 

Dare to discover. Dare to achieve. Dare to DofE.
