DofE Online Cookery Courses
We offer 3, 6, 12 and 18 month online cookery courses for the Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards. We have five courses available, all of which are 3 months long. Book a single course for a 3 month option, or combine courses to create a 6,12 or 18 month program, selecting the course/s that appeal most.
All our courses can be adapted for vegetarians and pescatarians. We are also happy to provide alternatives for allergies, intolerances, and even strong dislikes. Just let us know your requirements when you book, and we will tailor the course to suit your needs.
If you are not taking part in DofE, you are still welcome to join our courses. Our online cookery programmes are ideal for home-schoolers, young adults preparing for independent living, beginners wanting to improve their cooking skills, or busy professionals looking for confidence in the kitchen.
