The DofE is the world’s leading achievement award for anyone aged between 14 and 24. The award is a fun and challenging programme that has three progressive levels, Bronze, Silver and Gold. Students complete each award by organising a personal programme of activities in four sections:

• Volunteering: undertaking service to individuals or the community

• Physical: improving in an area of sport, dance or fitness activities

• Skills: developing practical and social skills and personal interests

• Expedition: planning, training for and completion of an adventurous journey in the UK or abroad
