    Letz Live works diligently to match outstanding candidates with opportunities in our network of partner schools. While placement cannot be guaranteed, we strive to offer suitable roles for participants across our gap year programs, ensuring you have the best chance to secure a position.

    The answer is… possibly but not likely. It really does come down to the individual school and their unique set of requirements. In saying this, we only have a handful of placements that only appoint one participant, so the chances are you’re likely to be placed at a school with a fellow Letz Live participant. What makes this even better is that you will have communication from them the moment placements are confirmed and have the opportunity to chat to other gappies via Facebook groups and meet them on our orientation programme!

    We certainly take down your preferences for a number of things including your preferred location, age groups, if you’ve got a particular interest in a school or if you would like to travel with a friend. In saying this, whilst we take them as “preferences” we cannot guarantee this and therefore some flexibility on your behalf is required. Our job is to match YOU to the best possible placement based on YOUR strengths and interests. The wonderful thing about our placements is that there are many travel opportunities for you to catch up with friends, and make new ones.

    The call is yours! We’re always available should the need arise and can offer you all of the support (or space!) that you may require throughout your placement. Having experienced a gap year ourselves, we understand that sometimes you need a sounding-board and other times you might like to be left alone to experience everything first hand. Either way, we’re only a phone call away if you need us.

    Our in country managers will check-in with you throughout your placement both in person and over the phone so you never feel alone.

    Your airfare, insurance (mandatory requirement for our programmes) and your visa are not included in our programme fees. In saying this, we will provide you with a travel quote that includes both flights and insurance upon acceptance of your position.

    Absolutely! We have access to some great airfare rates and can provide assistance with your comprehensive travel insurance policies. We also work with an Immigration expert who, for a small fee, can lodge and manage your visa application on your behalf to ensure you’re fully prepared for your gap year abroad.

    Assuming that you have applied before the application closing dates stated above, we will aim to notify applicants as per the below schedule:

    • January Intake: Applicants notified between June and August
    • July Intake: Applicants notified between February and March

    Programme fees are reinvested into the organisation to facilitate ongoing participant support and promotion of our programmes. Our goal is to offer opportunities to those travelling on a budget by ensuring that programme fees are kept to a minimum.

    For an in depth breakdown of the inclusions for your fee please refer to programme fee inclusions for each country programme below.
