Causeway Open Award Centre The Open Award Centre... The Centre was started in September 2003 and is a registered Open Award Centre with the Education Authority. Throughout the Causeway Coast area a lot of the Grammar and Secondary schools offer the Duke Of Edinburgh's Award to their pupils as well as Uniformed Organisations. For some participants this isn't suitable - it may be that the schools programme of activities or expedition dates don't suit their particular requirements or is oversubscribed.  For others that have left school, the Open Award Centre is an option to complete your Award. Should an individual young person have any difficulty accessing the DofE/JAI either through school or a voluntary organisation, Causeway Open Award Centre can offer the full DofE programme.  Please contact us for further details.
