Duke of Edinburgh’s Award
Be-Zing is proud to be an ‘Approved Activity Provider’ for The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.
The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, or DofE as it’s widely known, is a registered charity working to increase opportunities for young people, by providing a chance for them to build essential skills for life and work.
DofE is about sharing amazing experiences with friends, having fun, getting creative and learning incredible new skills along the way. A DofE Award also looks great on your CV, college or university application; it can help you get a job, change your community and take on anything life throws your way.
DofE is open to young people, aged 14 to 24 years, and offers 3 awards: Bronze, Silver and Gold.
Each DofE award has four main sections: Physical, Skills, Volunteering and the Expedition, plus Residential for gold participants. For the Skills section, young people choose an activity that will broaden their understanding and increase expertise in their skill.
