Feel confident leading your first tour
International training tours are specially designed for first-time Group Leaders and take place across the globe. Once you enroll ten travelers on your upcoming EF trip, your spot on a training tour is covered by us so you can learn all about teacher travel from educators with plenty of tour-leading experience and explore ways to align educational travel with your curriculum. We’ve even created International Multibus Training Tours, designed specifically for teachers leading large groups of 60+ travelers that require two or more buses for the first time—also at no cost. Whether you embark on an international tour or take part in our virtual training tour, we’ll prepare you to facilitate experiential learning for your students out in the world.
