Please find our eDofE Launch PowerPoints below to support the initial session once young people are enrolled onto the DofE programme. The session aims to get young people started on a high quality DofE programme and gets them logged onto eDofE to give them best chances of success for achievement with DofE. The session is aimed for leaders to deliver to participants and has supporting notes.

Use our online resources for any eDofE queries, from amending section start dates to approving activity change requests.

Don’t forget that you can also use the eDofE Support chat function for any specific queries.
