Get Qualified On Your Gap Year

A gap year is all about meeting new people, experiencing new things and expanding your horizons. It’s also a great time to gain qualifications that will enhance your university application and CV.

Why not look at making your gap year expedition applicable to what you are or will be studying? For example if you are interested in Marine Biology why not look at Greenforce’s projects in Fiji or The Bahamas?

If animal/wildlife conservation is more you’re type of thing then why not volunteer at a Panda Sanctuary in China or with Elephants in Thailand?

Another alternative is to actually participate in an expedition that has a qualification at the end. For example becoming an expedition leader or a ski instructor.

Whatever you do, make the most of your gap year, it really is the opportunity of a lifetime.

Gap Year In Australia

Want to fund your own gap year? Looking for fun, sun and adventure? Want to make friends and have the time of your life?

Then a gap year living and working in beautiful Australia is perfect for you.

Ozforce takes all the hassle out of organising your adventure. Before you depart we’ll give you all the support you need when it comes to booking flights, insurance and applying for a Visa.

Once you arrive in Australia Ozforce go out of our way to assist you in settling into the Aussie way of life. Firstly our representative Rebecca actually picks you up from the airport and takes you to the hostel for your welcome dinner.

In the first few days Ozfo

rce will help you set up an Aussie bank account, get medicare, a sim card, a tax file number and you’ll also take the RSA (Responsible Sale of Alcohol) course which is vital for getting work in retail/service in Australia.

To increase your chances of finding work we give you advice on your CV and run an interview skills workshop advising on the do’s and don’ts of attending an interview down under.

Its not all work though, we appreciate that a gap year is all about having the time of your life that’s why we lay on a host of fun activities such as a cliff top walk from Bondi to Coogee, a cocktail evening and Sports Day on the beach.

Start your Aussie adventure now, give Ozforce a call on 020 7384 3028 or visit www.ozforce.org

Hello everyone, welcome to the latest Gapforce Blog.


The sun is actually shining in London at the moment, and its a toasty 2 degrees as well.



Plenty going on as usual at the moment so we thought we would take a breath to tell you about some of it.


The most exciting news is about our NEW PROJECT in Morocco.



We have designed this as an EASTER SPECIAL in 2011, so you can take part during your school/uni or even work holidays as the whole experience lasts 10 days.



Full details are here, to enquire about this project click here
Don't forget to join us at the Christmas Gap Year and Career Break show in Putney on 17th December.
Thats all for now, we'll be back with another update next week.

Hi boys and girls, enjoying the weather?

No nor us.

What we have been enjoying though is the amazing pictures and videos we've been sent from our expedition leader out in Borneo, David 'Oz' Osbourne.

This Trekforce project is easily one of our most physically challenging, however as you can see from the vids and pics, the volunteers had a hell of a lot of fun as well.

If you want to find out a bit more about this project give us a buzz on 020 7384 3028 or ping an email to info@trekforce.org.uk

Stay chilled everyone ;)
