What is a Gap Year Safety Course / Independent Travel Safety Course?

The independent travel safety course / gap year safety course helps individuals and groups prepare effectively to travel more safely. It provides them with the knowledge to make informed judgements both prior to and during their travels.

Our gap year safety course has been developed to be effective for the mainstream ‘gapper’ as well as independent travellers of all ages and travelling to all parts of the world. It deals with the realistic problems which may be encountered; problems which can cut short or ruin a trip, lead to significant additional cost, create legal difficulties and result in health issues. 

We examine the practicalities of travel as well as general travel safety issues. Our aim is to provide participants with comprehensive strategies to prepare effectively for their planned travel and to carry through these plans to ensure that they make the most of all the new experiences they encounter.

Who should attend the gap year safety course / independent travel safety course? 

Our independent travel safety course is designed for anyone of any age, planning to travel to any part of the world for any length of time. Travel is a great leveller, travelling introduces you to people from every background and every age; our course is the first place you will get this integrated experience.

The gap year safety course is also effective for anyone considering independent travel but who may be concerned about all the horror stories they have heard, lack confidence, or who does simply not know how and where to start planning.

We also develop specific courses for groups travelling to a particular part of the world or for corporate clients taking part in volunteering projects as part of their human resources team development strategies. If you would like us to develop a course specifically for you please Contact Us.

 

What is the outcome of the gap year safety course / independent travel safety course?

On completion participants will be able to return to their travel planning with a sense of purpose and with the knowledge to allow them to travel with greater confidence; a confidence which when projected by a traveller, is one of the essentials of risk reduction.

An understanding of cultural awareness helps learners reduce culture shock by providing an insight into what to expect on arrival in a new country. Understanding how to behave in order to show and gain the respect of local people, also provides a level of protection which helps make the most of new experiences encountered.
