Breadth Option - Gold D of E

Course summary

For the past seven decades, The Duke of Edinburgh Award has inspired and transformed the lives of millions of young people from all walks of life. From volunteering to physical activities, life skills to expeditions, achieving a DofE Award is a passport to a brighter future, valued by employers and universities. The Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award is offered to students from Year 12. It is important to note however that you DO NOT need to have done any previous levels to be able to take on the GOLD award; it simply means you will need to continue one of your activities for a further 6 months (18 months total). If you choose Gold DofE as a breadth subject, you will have one dedicated lesson period a week towards completing your sections, either physical, volunteering or skills. The overall cost is approximately £550 which covers a 4-day practice and 5-day final expedition and equipment hire. Gold DofE can be taken in addition to another Breadth Option.
