Orientation & Development Program

When you find the perfect tour, you need to be perfectly prepared to lead it. Learn what it takes to successfully lead a student travel program and gain useful tips along the way from experienced Group Leaders, EF staff, and colleagues from across Canada who are as passionate about student travel as you. All our orientation and development programs cover on-the-ground safety and security, student engagement, tour logistics, and expectation setting for your travel team.

Find your perfect training program

Experiential Training Tours

Alongside fellow educators, do some practical learning in places like Paris, Barcelona, Lisbon, or Montréal. Led by experienced Group Leaders and EF staff, you’ll share incredible cultural experiences and gain valuable insight into the unique dynamics of group travel. For Group Leaders only.

Local workshops

Perfect for those looking for training a little closer to home. Participate in a full day of in-depth, interactive workshops and develop the practical skills and confidence to handle any situation on tour. Plus, learn some helpful tips from well-travelled Group Leaders. Chaperones are welcome to attend.

Virtual training

Don’t leave the comfort of your home (or pajamas) but gain all of the important insights and logistical information you need to lead your tour through a live or pre-recorded information session conducted by EF staff. Better yet, invite your travel team—chaperones are welcome. In English only.

Training that prepares you to lead

Everything you need to know about student travel. And then some.
