How It Works
For students aged 13+ signing onto our 12-week Duke of Edinburgh course, you’ll work independently from home or school and as your Tutor, we’ll be supervising and aiding your learning.
​You’ll need to spend a minimum of 1 hour per week (preferably more) over 12 weeks for a Bronze or Silver Skill.
​
Whilst you’ll be working remotely or using our Virtual Network online, we’ll be monitoring your progress with advice and feedback weekly at an agreed time.
​
Each week we’ll set an individual Lesson Plan, and also provide a monthly tutor report with lots of feedback to turn you into a Touch Typist along with gaining your DofE Skill.
Learners will be given weekly work programmes. Those on Option 1 will need to email over their Progress Reports each week. For those on Option 2, we'll spend an hour a week together online where learning will be done on our Virtual Network so we can keep a close eye that the correct learning is being made. Advice, targeted help and encouragement will always be available.
​
After your twelfth session, there will be a test which we expect to be passed to a minimum standard. The Assessor Report will then be filed with Duke of Edinburgh.
