DofE provides lists of lots of ideas for each of the sections on this comprehensive page. 

If you are considering an activity that is not on these lists, please check with the DofE Manager to ensure it is appropriate for a particular section. 

This short video gives a walk through of how to access eDofE for the first time.   If you prefer a check list to help you, please use this article

NB: the video shows an older version of the eDofE platform, however the  steps remain the same.  DofE  are releasing an updated video in the next few months. 

For each level of the award, you should keep a log for your volunteering, physical and skill sections as you go along.  This provides a record of what you have done; it is the core evidence that will support your section.  Use the DofE Activity Log or create your own version showing the same information.

Make sure you keep up to date logging evidence of all your hard work on your sections; this will support your assessor's final report and make it easy for the verifier to approve your sections.  This is really important if your assessor does not directly supervise your activity.

Please check the frequently asked questions articles before emailing the DofE manager or other DofE Leaders.  

As you finish each section, remember to ask your assessor for that section to write your report.  

There are two ways an assessor can write your report: 

1) a paper report using the DofE templates.  The templates are in your welcome pack, or can be found in the DofE resource centre.  (links above also)

2) an online report which is automatically added to your eDofE account.  The portal for this is easy to Google or can be found here

Remember to tell them:

1) which level of award  (Bronze/Silver/Gold)

2) which section 

3) your DofE number

4) your EXACT dates for that section
