Hi, I’m Rudy.
I started DofE Hero having completed my Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards. I loved DofE (in particular the expeditions!) but the experience left me disappointed at the lack of clear advice available both online and given by my instructors.
However, along my journey I discovered LOADS of tricks that can turn a miserable DofE into one you’ll truly enjoy. I learned how to revolutionise the DofE dinner, and how to set an expedition aim you’ll enjoy, not resent. I learned how to save money using little known DofE discounts, and how to leverage DofE to make your CV stand out.
I decided that my advice was worth sharing, so more people can walk away from DofE with a long-lasting sense of achievement in a qualification they truly enjoyed. You can read more about me and the story behind DofE Hero here.
