Training Calender

Currently, the cost of all opportunities on our DofE Glasgow Calender are fully funded for our internal Leaders, Staff and Volunteers. If you are external to Glasgow then you may of course book on but there will be a commercial rate applied to this, you can see these additional costs on the course calender.

Please also note that whilst Personal National Governing Body Registration fees are also funded for internal Leaders, Staff and Volunteers that they must register themselves in the first instance and then claim these funds back by invoicing these as volunteer expenses. For further advice on how to do this please contact your DofE Development Coach.
