Â
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award is the world’s leading youth achievement award. We offer the opportunity to earn your award with the Air Cadets.Â
​
The DofE Award is highly respected by employers and higher education institutes. It shows determination to complete a challenging task and ability to work in a team.  As well as helping your CV, the award also develops self confidence and teaches you useful life skills.
​
The Dofe Award is split into 4 sections:
Volunteering - This section is all about helping in the community, from helping with older people to looking after animals this section is all about giving back.
Skill - This section is about learning a new skill and discovering what you are good at. It includes things like learning an instrument or learning how to be a sports referee.Â
Physical - This is about improving your health and fitness. You can do it with others in a team or on your own. You can do any activity that requires a sustained level of energy and activity such as football, cycling or running.
Expedition - You will plan and complete an expedition as a small team, carrying all your food and equipment with you. You will improve your communication and leadership skills and come home full of memories.Â
​
Dofe is available at 3 levels, Bronze, Silver and Gold, with each level increase meaning a longer expedition and longer time spent doing the volunteering, skill and physical sections.Â
