Gap Year Travel Safety

The Objective Gap Year Travel and Safety Course launched in 2002 and quickly established itself as an extremely useful course for the inexperienced young traveller, whether they are, for example backpacking in South East Asia, Africa or Australia, or Interrailing around Europe. It's all about thinking safe and being aware of the different conditions that might be faced whilst travelling or backpacking abroad. We generally find that with a little bit of thought and planning, most potential dangers can be avoided.

The one-day course costs £165 and runs from 9:30am to 16:30pm. The course is held in London at the Troubadour Cafe which is on the Old Bromptom Road, Earl's Court. The address is 265 Old Brompton Road, London, SW5 9JA.

It's a highly interactive day with the number of people attending capped at twelve. Price also includes lunch. As well as covering safety information, we can also help plan routes and itineraries, budgeting, getting along with travelling companions and so much more. 

Covid -19

We are hoping to continue our training courses from September and its likley that many people will be looking to take a gap year due to the fact that universities will be unable to function normally this academic year. South East Asia is assessed as being the region most likely to open to tourism first, although India may be behind Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar & Cambodia in opening up. Latin America has been hit hard and we assess that travel to the region is unlikely to resume until October or November. Africa is still seeing an increase in cases.
