DofE Skills activities
Selected Innovation Hub courses may provide a structured activity for the Skills section of The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE), with learning in enterprise, money, communication or digital skills and practical tasks that can demonstrate progress over time.
Suitability must be agreed before starting. The participant should confirm the activity, personal goals, required timescale and suitable Assessor with their DofE Leader. Completing a course alone does not automatically complete the Skills section.
Practical course activities
Each route is designed around a simple loop: understand an idea, use it, then notice what changed. Progress is about clearer thinking and stronger evidence—not competing for a place on a leaderboard.
Keep learning
The Hub is one part of the journey. Use a different format when a learner needs a conversation, a physical prompt or a live place to practise.
Use stories and prompts to begin useful conversations about money, confidence and choices.

Use the Starz route finderNo. It is a parallel layer of practical education designed to sit alongside school, home education or supported provision. Courses focus on applying knowledge through decisions, projects and real-world tasks.
Each published course shows its recommended age, focus and expected outcome. If you want a broader recommendation before choosing, the Starz Academy route finder can suggest a sensible starting point.
Innovation Hub membership includes selected Hub titles as they are released. Super Nova includes STARZ courses plus selected Hub titles. Courses marked “Coming soon” are still being developed and cannot yet be started or purchased. Any separate purchase option will be stated on the relevant course when it is released.
A course marked “May support DofE Skills” can provide structured learning and practical activities, but it is not an automatic approval or completion guarantee. The participant must agree the activity, goals, timescale and suitable Assessor with their DofE Leader before starting, then take part regularly and provide the required evidence and Assessor’s report.
Yes. Schools, alternative provision, youth groups and community organisations can explore the separate £199 educator licence and discuss the most suitable delivery route for their setting.
