Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Please Note: This App will only work if your Award is using Online Record Book. If you are using any other system (such as eDofE) please speak to your Award Unit or National Office. This application was developed by The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award Foundation as a simple and fast tool to assist Award participants in completing their Award, anytime anywhere. The participant is able to manage their Award progress using the App. They can set up activities, create logs for their progress and also send their Award sections to their Assessor and Award Leader for completion. Your Award must be using the latest version of the Online Record Book system (sometimes known as "ORB Next Generation") and have a valid participant login to the system in order to be able to use this App.
