Our Experience & Credentials We are proud of our Approved Activity Provider (AAP) status and have been working alongside the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award for 13 years, delivering this wonderful programme through a range of online Skills courses in Cookery, Sewing, Baking, Beekeeping and Fossil Finding, as well as our well-established Gold residential courses: Season It Cookery, Find It and Bees Beside the Seaside. Our online Skills courses are designed to make completing the DofE Skills section simple, accessible and enjoyable, with structured learning and guidance throughout. They are particularly suited to young people who may benefit from a more flexible approach, including those with additional needs. Young people can learn from home and at their own pace, with a minimum commitment of just one hour per week. It’s learning that fits around school, family life and busy schedules, while still providing the structure, support and encouragement needed to complete their DofE Skills section.
