Course Details

Prepare and be safe

We teach young people how to prepare for their gap year and how to deal with problems they may face.  Our intention is to help them recognise danger by teaching them to think on their feet and interpret situations confronting them - without terrifying the living daylights out of them.

Fun and interactive

The course is delivered by means of interactive scenarios and role-play, lectures and hands-on learning.  Our instructors have an excellent understanding of young travellers and flavour the course will tales of scrapes and situations they themselves have encountered. We believe with a little basic tuition, many misfortunes can be avoided.

Our one-day courses are held weekly in LONDON (at The Troubadour ) in Earl's Court and occasionally at other UK-wide locations.  Private courses are also available on request. The Troubadour is close to Earl's Court and West Brompton tube stations.

Price per student: £150

Times: 9.30am - 4.30pm. This includes a simple buffet lunch, cold drinks, tea and coffee. Each student will be issued with travellers notes at the end of the course.
