Travel safely on your Expedition Abroad with World Challenge

Safety on expedition is the ultimate priority for us at World Challenge and we have over 20 years of developing systems and gaining knowledge of young people travelling worldwide, especially to the developing world.

Our TravelSafe course is for you if…

You are travelling as part of an organised gap year expedition
You are travelling with a group of friends before starting University or College
You are travelling independently
You teach at a school or represent another organisation that would like a tailored course delivered on site (contact us for a quote, minimum number of 12 delegates)

World Challenge, the UK’s leading expedition organisation for schools and young people has developed a new comprehensive 1-day travel safety course (TravelSafe) to make sure you are prepared for your travels and you know as much as possible about travelling safely on your gap year expedition. We want you to have the time of your life whilst you are away and this course will teach you the skills and give you the know-how to enable you to do so.

TravelSafe course

The course is delivered using interactive scenarios and a series of workshops enabling attendees to learn in a relaxed and fun environment. The instructors are highly experienced travellers and have encountered first hand many of the situations discussed whilst travelling independently themselves.

The course is held at the central location of the World Challenge’s award winning training facility in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire where you will also have access to over 100 experienced travellers; it is unlikely that you will be going somewhere that at least one member of our team hasn’t been to!
