Training for Adults in the Award
The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation provides a comprehensive training programme for adults in the Award from licensed Independent Award Centres (IACs), Operating Partners (OPs), and for external activity providers who work with IACs. The training is a blended learning programme with online and virtual-instructor-led components. For training under National Award Operators (NAOs), please speak to the NAO in your country.
We utilize the Award Community learning platform for our online training courses. Using this platform, adults in the Award can access the learning they need at a time that works for them. All courses on the Award Community are regularly updated to include the most current information about the Award.
