DofE Expeditions for Schools
Azarias Training Ltd works in close partnership with schools to deliver high-quality Duke of Edinburgh’s Award expeditions at Bronze, Silver, and Gold level. We provide reliable, well-organised, and supportive expedition provision, allowing school staff to focus on their students while we manage the practical delivery.
We offer flexible DofE support tailored to each school, including training, practice, and qualifying expeditions.
Our experienced supervisors and accredited assessors ensure all expeditions are delivered safely, professionally, and in line with DofE and AALA requirements.
What Schools Can Expect
Initial Meeting & Planning – A planning meeting to agree requirements, dates, locations, and delivery.
Pre-Expedition Preparation – Risk assessments, itineraries, and clear communication with staff and parents.
Training & Practice Expedition – Expedition skills training and a supported practice expedition.
Qualifying Expedition – Professionally supervised and assessed by accredited DofE assessors.
Assessment & Reporting – Completion of DofE assessor reports and expedition feedback.
Locations and Pricing
We deliver DofE expeditions in a range of suitable locations across the UK, carefully selected to match the level of the Award, the experience of the group, and the learning outcomes required.
We offer a standard expedition package, which provides a clear and reliable framework for schools. However, we also understand that every school is different and are happy to discuss flexible options where needed.
Our priority is always the quality of the experience for students — ensuring expeditions are safe, well-supported, and genuinely positive, rather than rushed or compromised. For details of locations, availability, and pricing, please contact us to discuss your requirements.
Beyond DofE Expeditions
In addition to DofE expeditions, we can support schools with a range of outdoor learning activities, including residentials, orienteering and navigation days, outdoor team-building, and leadership development programmes.
Our programmes are delivered by a skilled and experienced freelance staff team with backgrounds in outdoor leadership, youth development, and safeguarding. This breadth of expertise allows us to design and deliver customised outdoor packages that align with a school’s specific aims — have an idea? Get in touch with us and have a chat.
