Safety is paramount when it comes to the expedition. Therefore, it is essential that all participants complete the DofE Expedition Training Framework. Training should be appropriate to the team goal, location and journey type. For a full list of what the training should cover, please refer to the DofE Leaders' Handbook.
Training must be completed for all levels of the Award.
Participant's can submit the training from their eDofE account, or you can add it to the expedition section on their behalf.
How does a leader fill out the Expedition training section?
1. From the left-hand menu, select 'Manage Participants'-> 'Expedition Set up'
