Participants need to carry out one recipe weekly to keep a regular and steady pace to finish their module within the timeframe specified by the DofE programme.

For example, if you have chosen a 3-month module for your Bronze or Silver DofE, then it is your responsibility to make one recipe per week for the next 3 months.

It can be done on the day that suits your schedule best.

If you miss a week because you're having a busy week at school or are away on holiday and cannot cook, try to fit in the missed recipe the following week to stay on track.

We understand there are times when it might not be possible to keep on track. Contact us if you foresee any issues.
