DofE Skills Archives - The Avenue Cookery School

As an Approved Activity Provider for DofE, we have a fantastic range of classes suitable to complete your skill section. Our Kids Cooking Club (see more details by clicking here) was especially designed for weekly meetings to complete your award. Some people, who cannot commit to a weekly class, decide to combine this with some of our other Kids’ Classes which you can browse by clicking here, namely our Young Holiday Classes – for more details click here.

To complete the award, you will need to have the first and last sessions with us and at least 4 hours of tuition for Bronze and 6 hours for Silver. In between, you will need to practice and document your skills improving over the 3 months. After your last session with us, you can send us your documentation and our assessors will be able to sign off your award online. Please note that activity cannot be condensed to less than one session per month.
