Well I’ve completed the bronze award although i haven’t received the certificate yet…
My teachers have said it’s very very valuable to employers, and if you do silver and gold- even more valuable. I didn’t continue it to silver as i found it ‘wasn’t’ for me, so I did SVP instead (a volunteering scheme for young people, and you get an award for it too. It’s for a year, and so far I’ve enjoyed it a lot more than DofE. However it’s not a recognized. If you go a catholic school, there’s a chance they’ll do it, or even a regular school too)
I might do gold in sixth form, but see what my life is up to. But if you have the chance, GO for it.
