Steps to Departure
-
Choose the course that best suits you - consider if you will have enough time to save or fundraise, and the dates fit with school and other commitments.
-
Read our terms and conditions - make sure you know some of the details, so nothing comes as a surprise. Read T&Cs.
-
Inform your parents that you've applied - make sure it's not a surprise to them, and they support your plans.
-
Complete the application form for your course - you will hear from us by email and text message once you've been accepted. Make sure to check your junk email.
-
Pay your deposit to secure your space - a 10% deposit within one-week of your acceptance is required so we can hold your place on the course. Deposits are not refundable, but can be transferred to another course.
-
Read the course information pack - this will be emailed to you once your application has been accepted. It contains all the information you and your family need to prepare for your course.
-
Start fundraising - the remaining course costs will be due in two instalments, four and two months before your departure date. Payment dates will be given in the information pack. See here for ideas about fundraising.
-
Send us some personal course info - we will need a copy of your passport, medical and/or dietary requirements, a parental consent form. Our Programme Coordinator will assist you with these items.
-
Keep in touch with us - over the next few months we'll talk to you and your parents, run a video call for all students on your course, and update you with any changes or new information. You can contact us by email, phone, message, or on social media.
-
Arrange your domestic travel - you will need to arrange you own travel to/from the international airport for your course departure, and arrival back after the course. You'll need to let us know your flight details, or if you're being dropped off at the airport.
-
Meet us at your international airport for departure - You will meet our staff, if there's a large group of students flying together, and start getting to know your course mates while we wait for the plane to leave.
