A-level results yesterday, it feels like only yesterday we at The Leap were also stood in line at college waiting very nervously to get our results!! And this is why we know all too well that its not always a picnic. You might not have felt much like celebrating yesterday whilst trawling through UCAS Clearance on the net….but we can definately cheer you up today by organising an amazing 12 months overseas instead!!!

Its the start of an incredible year....your Gap Year! :-)

We can get you out of here pronto and jetting off in to the Africa, Asian or Latin American sun sun sun to do something really worthwhile with this year! Instead of trawling through UCAS Clearance give us a call and we at Leap Towers can help with your travel plans. Uni will still be here waiting for you next year and here’s a few reasons why NOW is THE time to take a Gap Year!

-Firstly there’s the fun factor. Who in their right mind….or even wrong mind for that matter doesn’t dream of being in the sun with a great group of people doing some amazing things, relaxing and getting a gorgeous tan!

-Its not all relaxation though as the universities themselves know! Over-riding everything else the common theme amongst universities, to even get a second glance you need to demonstrate commitment, initiative, teamwork, good organisation and the ability o communicate effectively. Soft skills developed through a challenging experience such as volunteering abroad will make you more mature and enthusiastic about life, effective contributors and real commiters. So after an amazing year overseas when you get to see some great parts of the world you will come back even more qualified and ready for Uni than before….Great!

“…..An experience that enables a young adult to immerse themselves in a different culture, to deal with challenges and return a more confident and mature person can only be beneficial.” Celia Brayfield- University Lecturer Brunel University.

Our team placements are a great way to visit some of the worlds amazing places, experience new and exciting cultures, meet new people, learn new skills and also give something fantastic back to the people and places you meet, whilst adding that extra sparkle to your CV and University application in the meantime!!

Don’t Mope….Gap!!!
