Gold training combines 2 days of theory and practice to prepare you for your Gold Practice and Qualifying Expeditions.
You’ll cover the DofE Gold Expedition training syllabus including:
Gold training can run simultaneously with the Practice, making an intensive block of 5 days.
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.
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.
