"I was very reluctant to let Michael go travelling in the first place. I think it was more worry than anything else as he would be leaving the family and heading off on his own. He found the course and asked us whether attending it would change our minds - and it did. He came back very much more aware of himself and the dangers that are out there. I feel more confident in letting him go even though I'll still worry when he's away."

"We decided to send Deborah on the course as a way of helping her during her trip to South America. Obviously we couldn't be there for her three months away but at least she could take the skills with her and use them every day."
J. White, Cardiff

"The course staff were very helpful and talked us through the reasons for the programme. I really liked the way they encourage practical learning and let the teenagers find their own answers. I'd have no problem recommending the course to others."
A. Patel, Hammersmith

"I wish this course had been around 25 years go when I decided to go off travelling, as I'm sure it would have prevented me from learning the hard way. Now my son is following in my footsteps I feel much happier that he has been through the programme."
