Delivering high-quality Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expeditions and residential experiences that help young people grow in confidence, independence, and resilience.
“It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.”
- Sir Edmund Hillary
We believe some of the most powerful learning happens outdoors — through challenge, teamwork, and shared experience. Our DofE programmes are carefully planned and professionally delivered, creating safe and supportive environments where participants can develop essential life skills while working towards their Award.
From first training walks to qualifying expeditions, we work closely with schools, families, and young people to ensure every experience is positive, well-supported, and genuinely rewarding.
Our aim is simple: to help participants feel capable, confident, and proud of what they achieve.
At the heart of Azarias Training Ltd is a belief that the outdoors can play a vital role in supporting mental health, wellbeing, and personal development.
Our mission is to deliver DofE expeditions and residentials that:
Build confidence and independence
Encourage teamwork and communication
Develop resilience through appropriate challenge
Support positive mental wellbeing
Character ∙ Resilience ∙ Wellbeing
We aim to create environments where young people feel supported to step outside their comfort zone, learn from experience, and discover strengths they may not yet realise they have. All of our expeditions and residential activities focus on growth, self-belief, and practical life skills that stay with participants long after the expedition ends.

FAQs
"My son loved his time with Azarias"
"A good review from a parent or school would be great here to add some trust and show you are reliable, do you have one I can use? If you have a few, we could make this into a slider which will automatically fade/slide between a few reviews, usually about 5 or 6.Thanks."
