What We Offer

At Kiai Training Centre, we are proud to support The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award - a global youth development framework empowering young Australians aged 14–24 to explore their potential, build life skills, and grow through experience, no matter where they live or what their background is.

As a recognised Duke 4Sport partner, we offer exciting, inclusive, and meaningful opportunities in South Australia for young people to complete the Physical Recreation, Skills, and Voluntary Service Sections of their Duke of Ed journey at Bronze, Silver, and Gold Levels.

Whether you're stepping into the dojo as a student, learning the ropes as a junior coach, or giving back through our various forms of volunteering - Kiai Training Centre has a pathway for you.

All our coaches, officials, and mentors involved in the program hold valid Working with Children Checks and are happy to act as your Duke of Ed Assessors.
