To deliver The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award at your school or organisation you will need to register as an Duke of Ed Centre and nominate at least one Duke of Ed Leader who will be responsible for coordinating Duke of Ed within your Centre. It is strongly recommended that you also identify a second person to ensure continuity through any absences. They will be required to complete the Duke of Ed Leader training outlined in the steps below.
A Duke of Ed Centre Licence agreement will be issued which needs to be signed and returned by the delegated approving officer (Authorising Contact).
The Duke of Ed Leader will also need to register their Duke of Ed Centre on the Online Record Book (ORB). The ORB is the online system used to manage Duke of Ed User registrations, activity logging and completions.
