You’ll cover the DofE Gold Expedition training syllabus including:

  • Navigation
  • Compass work
  • Food and cooking

  • First aid
  • Kit and equipment

Gold training can run simultaneously with the Practice, making an intensive block of 5 days.

Gold Practice Expedition

Gold Teams must complete the required training and a practice expedition of at least 2 days and 2 nights.

We typically to turn this into 3 days and 2 nights to ensure you are capable, confident, and prepared.

 

Gold Qualifying Expedition

The Gold Qualifying Expedition comprises at least 4 days and 3 nights, with 8 hours of planned activity each day.

We encourage teams to travel to their location the day before to ensure they are fresh and prepared.

Day 1 always includes a wake up walk so participants can familiarise using a map and compass again.
