Duke of Edinburgh Support

Expeditions made easy

Planning and running a successful Duke of Edinburgh Adventurous Journey takes time (and expertise) which many teachers do not have.

Save stress and make sure your students are well prepared with our Adventurous Journey Support Packages for Bronze, Silver or Gold award levels.

We offer four core services:

  1. Planning - our local experts can help you select a suitable area for your Adventurous Journey based on the age, experience, and award level of your students.

  2. Training - we provide interactive in-class training, as well as practical outdoor workshops to make sure students have the skills and knowledge for a successful Qualifying Journey.

  3. Practice Journey - we’ll help students plan the route, and do it together - practicing the skills learned in the classroom and providing practical feedback to make sure their qualifying journey is a success.

  4. Qualifying Journey - as well as providing students with feedback on their chosen routes, we’ll support in the planning, supervision and final assessment of the qualifying journeys.

We work throughout Catalunya including natural parks near Barcelona, and also in more adventurous areas such as the Pyrenees.
