How to set up your account
Step 2 - Decide on the activities you are going to complete
More information on these can be found in the relevant sections.Timescales - For bronze you will need to do one of the activities for six months and the other two for three months.
Step 3 - Choose an assessor
Any adult can assess you, so long as they are not a relative. Ideally it's the person who will see you doing the activity, but it could be your form tutor or another teacher.
Step 4 - Submit for approval
Make sure you have entered all the information needed, remember you can backdate the start date. You don't need your assessors email or phone number, but it can help us if we need to chase up evidence on your behalf.
Getting Evidence
Depending on who your assessor is will often determine how you collect your evidence.
If you are taking part in activity where you meet with an instructor or coach on a regular basis, they should be your assessor. Once you've completed the 3 or 6 months of activity you should take them a blank assessors form, these will be sent to you by DofE or you can get spares from school.
Once the form is complete take a picture and upload it to your account.
If you are doing an activity where you don't meet with an instructor or coach you can use your form tutor or another teacher, but we will need to see some evidence that you are actually doing the activity, for example:
Walking or running - Download the Srava App (free version) and record your routes, take screenshots of the app and upload these to the app.
Cooking at home as a skill - Take photos of the meals or cakes, upload them to the app.
Online courses, or independently learning an instrument or foreign Language. Choose a member of staff who will know something about what you doing, ege a language or music teacher, take photos and screenshots.
Download and print out the DofE Activity Log, once complete take a picture and upload this to your account via the app.
Uploading Your Evidence
Uploading you evidence is simple, go into the relevant section on your DofE App, scroll down and select ADD EVIDENCE. Then just take a picture of your completed forms and upload them. Make sure the whole form is in the picture.
