Frequently asked questions

Can I use this course for my D of E bronze, silver or gold?

Yes, our courses are approved for the skills section of bronze, silver and gold awards.

How is the course delivered?

All courses are fully online via the LearnWorlds platform. As soon as you sign up, you'll have access to your course material.

Each week has a 10–15 minute video to watch, followed by a task to complete to practise your new skills. Together, the video and task should take an hour.

The cookery tasks have a recipe card to follow, with participants completing a short feedback form after they’ve cooked the recipe.

You submit each task for review and receive feedback via your online account.

Do I have to commit to an hour every week?

No. The course is designed to be completely flexible to fit around other commitments. You can complete one task per week, take a break, and complete a few tasks in one go.

This flexibility ensures that participants can balance their course with other activities.

Where can I find my assessor's details?

Once you've signed up for a course, you'll be sent a welcome email. This includes the assessor details you'll need for your eDofE account.

If you haven't received this email, please let us know.

What ages are the courses aimed at?

Primarily for young people aged between 13 and 18. The videos and tasks are designed to be accessible for all ages and I'm always on hand to provide support by email.


Do I need any prior knowledge?

None at all. Our courses assume no financial background, just curiosity and a willingness to learn.

Can I sign up if I'm not in the UK?

Yes, we've had students from Canada, Australia, Asia, the US and the Middle East! Please let us know when you sign-up and we can tailor the tasks accordingly (when needed).

Can you customise a course?

We can tailor any combination of courses to suit your needs - just drop us an email.

Can parents track progress?

We don’t offer a dedicated parent portal but you can log into your child's portal on LearnWorlds to see their progress.

We encourage students to contact us directly with questions or issues as it’s all part of building independence and confidence (and hopefully gives parents one less thing to manage!). That said, if anything needs parental attention, we’ll be in touch...
