Training Funding

Adult members wishing to attend DofE training courses can get funding towards:

  • Introduction to the DofE course.
  • Expedition Assessor Accreditation scheme (EAAS)
  • Train the Trainer course

This funding covers 50% of any course fees and 50% of travel costs. All courses need to be accredited as part of DofE modular training framework. It does not cover equipment or accomodation unless they are included within the course fee. In return for this funding, applicants are required to carry out their role of a DofE Leader, Assessor or Trainer for a minimum of two years (appropriate to the course attended).

Applications for this funding should be sent to Gilwell Park using the application form available below.
