Duke of Edinburgh's International Award

At the completion of your Outward Bound course, you will be posted a course report from your instructors. This report stands as evidence to sign off your Adventurous Journey/Residential Project. You are responsible to upload this document to your Online Record Book.

You have two options for sign off:

- If you have an Online Record Book (ORB) please follow the instructions below. For more details, follow the process outlined in this document.

- Present your physical Duke of Ed record book and have it ticked and signed off by your OB instructor. If you choose this option, please ensure you tell your instructor at the START of your course that you are qualifying for DoE.

If you have any difficulty following this process, please get in touch with your Award Leader or send us an email at info@outwardbound.co.nz.
