Duke of Edinburgh's Award
What is the Duke of Edinburgh's Award?
It is a way of enjoying lots of new experiences, discovering
talents you never thought you had, challenging yourself and meeting
lots of people.
There are programmes at three levels, Bronze, Silver or Gold,
which lead to a Duke of Edinburgh's Award and
you achieve an award by completing a personal programme
of activities in four sections (five if you're going for Gold).
Will it take me a long time to complete ?
It usually takes at least 6 months to complete your Bronze
programme.
It will take you at least 6 months for Silver if you have already
achieved your Bronze, or 12 months if you have jumped straight into
Silver.
For Gold, you'll need to do your programme for at least 12 months
if you have got your Silver Award, or 18 months if you've started
at Gold level without doing Silver- even if you've done
Bronze.
The length of time in is months, however you need to show
regularactivity and commitment during this time of at least an hour
a week. You can't achieve an Award in a short burst of enthusiasm
over one weekend!
