Can I book with a friend?
- You can attend with one person you know but you will need to check with your DofE Leader if 3 or more people will be attending the same residential who already know each other. A key part of the residential is meeting new people. Many people do attend as individuals.
Can I arrive late or be picked up early?
- We are not able to authorise late drop off or early pick-ups due to the requirements from the DofE for the residential.
How will I get signed off for the residential section of Gold DofE?
- At the end of the week, our team will submit an Assessor's report online on eDofE, which then appears in your eDofE profile within 72 hours.
What are the assessor details for the residential?
- You will receive the Assessor's details in your confirmation email when you book. If you require them before booking, please email our team on info@reach-outdoors.com and we can send them to you.
