The Duke of Edinburgh's Award

Helping young people to build confidence, resilience and learn new skills

Achieving a Duke of Edinburgh’s Award has become an important milestone for many young people as they near the end of their full-time education. Planning and delivering fun and challenging expeditions take time and effort. That’s why we provide specialist support to help you organise your trip. Our staff training courses can be delivered from our Outdoor Education venues or your school grounds.

“We had a great group of instructors who have engaged well with all participants including those with additional needs. It was good to have new 3-man tents, especially given the wet weather.”
