FAQ for participants
How do I complete the level?
You must have completed all activities and dispatches and have them entered in the ORB by the pre-determined deadline. To complete the ceremony you must have a status in ORB: Awaiting Ceremony. You will do best to contact your leader/supervisor before the deadline to have your ORB entries completed in a timely manner.
What if I don't finish the level by the deadline?
It's okay, you'll go to the ceremony at another time.
How do I get a certificate?
Elektronický certifikát získáš vždy, jakmile dokončíš úroveň. Přijde ti automaticky na mail (na ten, který máš zapsaný v ORB).
Is only an electronic certificate sufficient as proof of passing the DOFE?
Yes, that's enough! For this reason, an electronic version is now also sent to applicants, which you can attach to your CV. Don't forget to show off your electronic certificate on social media and add it to LinkedIn.
How do I get a badge?
Opravdový odznak je možné obdržet pouze na ceremonii.
Is the ceremony compulsory?
No, participation in the ceremony is not compulsory. But if you don't show up, you won't get a badge, and that would be a shame.
I want to go to the ceremony, do I have to sign up for it?
Yes, your application will arrive at the email address you have on file with ORB! But you must have completed everything, see above.
Why didn't I get my application for the ceremony?
Invitation to the ceremony was received by all dofacs and dofacs who met the deadline for registration in ORB. You probably do not have the required status in ORB: Pending Ceremony or you did not meet the deadline by which this status had to be entered. Ceremony registration goes to the email you have on ORB. Don't forget to check your spam.
What if I don't make it to the ceremony, but have met the ORB enrollment deadline?
You will not lose your electronic certificate or badge, it will arrive in your email (the one you have in ORB). Unfortunately, you will no longer be able to participate in the ceremony.
If I can't make it to my ceremony, can I make it another year?
Unfortunately, that's not how it works. If you have completed your ORB registration on time and missed the ceremony, you are not allowed to participate the following year. But don't hang your head, your electronic certificate is in the mail and maybe try the next level!
Why do I have to fill out a medallion on the ceremony application form?
As soon as the moderators call your name at the ceremony, they are reading your medallion from your ceremony application, so it's great if you share with us how you enjoyed doing DOFE.
How does the ceremony work?
Aktuálně připravujeme ceremonie pro rok 2026. O jejich průběhu dáme vědět co nejdřív.
For inspiration view photo gallery or our YouTube channelwhere you'll find footage from past ceremonies.
Why would I want to perform or give a speech at the ceremony?
Each ceremony is unique and we are even more pleased if you want to share your experience from the program (speech) or demonstrate a skill (singing, playing the piano or other musical instrument, ballroom dancing, etc.).
Who can I bring to the ceremony?
When you fill out the application form, you can see how many people you can bring. It depends on the capacity of the place, sometimes it's one, sometimes two. It could be parents, siblings, friends or dates. The choice is yours.
Is it possible to change the location/date of the ceremony?
Unfortunately, that's not possible. The ceremony for which you've applied is fixed.
FAQ for leaders
What can I do to make my dofak/dofess meet the level in ORB?
In order to complete a level in ORB, the dofák must have a status of Awaiting Ceremony at a date to be determined by the National Center. If you have difficulty completing the ORB, please contact us in a timely manner (before the deadline) at: orb@dofe.cz.
Is it possible to add data to the ORB after the deadline?
It is possible to add the entry to the ORB after the deadline, but the dofák/dofačka will be able to participate in the ceremony at the next date.
How do I enter my doofas/doofas in the ceremony?
Please don't announce the dofaks at the ceremony you, save your strength. Every dofak and every dofak will receive an application for the ceremony on his/her e-mail (which he/she has filled in ORB). You may, however, notify them that they should receive such an email.
Why should ceremony participants fill out their medallion?
The medallions of the awarded dofaks and dofaces will be read directly at the ceremony. They serve for mutual recognition and inspiration. Dofacs fill out the medallion as well as the application form themselves.
Why should the participants in the ceremony have to perform or give a speech?
Each ceremony is unique and we are all the more pleased when dofacs and dofacs want to share their experiences from the program (speech) or demonstrate a skill (singing, piano playing, ballroom dancing, etc.) in front of their fellow dofacs. This option is filled out by the dofacs as part of their application for the ceremony.
Do I have to sign in as a leader for the ceremony?
Yes, if you wish to accompany your dofaces and dofaces to the ceremony, you must register for the ceremony. The ceremony registration form will land in your email.
Can I forward my application for the ceremony to someone else?
No, each application is unique and in your name. Certificates are then printed based on that application. So everyone applies for the ceremony via their application form, which will be sent to their registered email.
Why didn't I, as a leader, get an application for the ceremony?
An invitation to the ceremony was extended to all leaders/coordinators who have this year's graduates enrolled in ORB. If you are not one of them, don't despair, the colleague(s) who received the invitation can bring you along as their guest. You will definitely not miss the ceremony. Applications go to the email you have on ORB and be sure to check your spam.
Můžu na ceremonii odznaky pro co ty, co se nedostaví?
Ano, dofákům, kteří se nedostaví na ceremonii můžete odznaky vyzvednout a sami je těmto dofákům předat. Na ceremonii proto vyhledejte svého regionálního manažera.
Who can I bring to the ceremony?
You may bring one person with you to the ceremony. Maybe a leader who is not there this year, or a colleague who is thinking about going to DOFE. But the choice is yours.
