Application Process

Apply for the African Mini Gap Year

After we receive your application, our team will contact you to arrange a short and informal phone interview. Once we confirm your program and date, you can pay your Application Fee to book and secure your placement. Then we will send you your Welcome Pack and other helpful information to assist your preparation for your program.

If you would like to speak with an advisor before you pay the Application Fee, choose the option Book A Call. Please note, however, that we are unable to process your application until we receive the Application fee.
