DofE Assessor Accreditation information.

This information will help you go through the process of becoming a DofE Assessor.

The website can take some time to get used to. There are two websites effectively, the “eDofE” website that you can access most things from and the “Learning Platform” site. You will first need to register on the eDofE website. This link gets you directly to the Expedition and Supervisor Pathway. You will click on “apply now” and this will lead you to sign up to be able to complete the course.  

Once you have registered and applied for courses, you will receive an email from DofE Training Team, follow the link, it requires a different log-in that you will create at the time. You will then be able to log in to the learning platform. This link gives you a lot of detail about the process. If you don’t want to navigate through all the detail, basically you register on the pathway and follow the steps.

At some point you will need to be endorsed by an AAP (us). All I need from you to do this is your eDofE number. This will be created as you get part way through the process. This link will take you to the pathway to start the assessor module, if you directly apply to the assessor course, it will automatically sign you on to the foundation course.
