Hottest Training Course In History!

With the fans cranked up to full, and orange cordial on tap - our first group of GapBreak students sweltered through their placement training camp in Sydney this February.

Despite the heat, the camp was a huge success, with students meeting their fellow Gappers, and getting lots of valuable information about their placmement.

We spoke to a few students about their impression from the camp, and their thoughts on their future placement.


“Hola lectores!

On the weekend of the 19th of February, a bunch of teenagers of about 60-70, including myself, from all around Australia travelled to Sydney to attend a two day training program. The training program taught us everything we need to know about our relevant placement - whether we were travelling to Africa to stay in Ghana, to France, to India, or to South America to stay in Argentina, Peru, or where i am spending my three months, Ecuador.

The training weekend was a great experience, meeting our fellow team members, having the chance to speak to previous students who had been on previous antipodeans placements (who were extremely helpful), and learning about the country to where we're travelling and the opportunities and adventures it offers.

The training weekend was great, and i'm positive i'm speaking for the other 60-70 others who also participated when i say that i simply cannot wait to begin my placement in an (exciting) unknown land."

“What a jam packed, exciting, informative, fun and friendly weekend we all had at the Antipodeans training weekend! Everyone enjoyed meeting their future gap break ‘buddies’ and sharing their travel plans and hopes for what will be an awesome experience. We were all scared into imagining how sick we will all get by a visit from the trusty Travel Doctor – especially us going to Peru. Everyone was fed methods on how to tackle difficult scenarios, how to actually teach our own language and important information specific to our destination by past students aka ‘walking lonely planet guides!’ Everyone was also fed lots of delicious food that helped us survive the Chatswood lizards that liked to share our rooms. Thanks to Sophie for a great weekend and to all the organising she did to make it the success it was!”
