Overview
AustraLearn and Queenstown Resort College have created a unique 18-week GAP experience that allows students to develop the leadership characteristics, real world skills, and experience that employers and universities seek. Students will also gain valuable insight and personal development through the program's leadership and life-lessons coaching; a greater understanding of the world through cultural experiences, travel, and peer interaction; and a proven track record of success by completing each course in the program.
