My gap year... the best experience of my life

Your dream trip

A Gap Year brilliantly combines full-time English studies with adventure, travel and work. 

A well-organised Gap Year will do three things:

  • Give you fluency and confidence in English for life, study and work 
  • Create international bonds and friendships that will stay with you much of your life 
  • Help you become a confident and independent citizen of the world 

We will sit down with you and help you design a Gap Year programme that meets your objectives. It takes a bit of time. Ideally, you should contact us at least 4 - 6 months before your planned departure date, (but we are skilled at organising at the last minute too!).

We help you organise your dream trip

We will help you decide which destinations, visas and work rights, and accommodation are best suited for you. We will prepare a detailed academic plan with a clear quote. Think of us as your experienced advisor. 

We will help you with enrolments and visa questions and we will always be in close contact with you during your gap year, ready to answer any questions. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us at any point of your trip.

Gap year testimonials

An exam certificate on your CV

Here are a few things to think about when preparing a gap year:

  • exams - such as the Cambridge exams B2 or C1 or the IELTS academic exam for future university studies, 
  • work options - such a demi-pair (au pair / baby-sitting), or part time or full-time work
  • sports and activities - such as surfing, diving, horse-riding, hiking, clubbing or volunteering in a wild animal shelter, to name a few.

How long is a gap year? 

It’s your choice. Many of our gap year students leave for between six and twelve months. They often finish their stay with a road trip with other students. They always finish with smile and a touch of sadness to be returning home.
