    Has everyone got their gap years sorted??
    Hi everyone,

    My first post on here and I think it's only fair to admit that I'm 30(urghh!) and trying to start a gap year course for young people (I definitely won't put any links or anything).

    My question is am I too late to market the course or has everyone who is taking a gap year got themselves sorted already? It's not going to be cheap but I don't want to waste my time, money and effort if it's too late to go ahead with.

    It's been 10 years since I was in your position so I'm a bit out of touch!

    Loved my gap years, had more than a couple!

    I for one haven't got my gap year plans sorted yet.

    Not too late. whilst I have sorted out mine, not many people I know have. Also a number of people will decide to go on a gap year post exams results in August, so you can always target them.

    Not to late: plans/exam results can still fall through etc.

    I don't think it's too late at all - I'm still looking into my gap year after realising in Jan/Feb that I didn't want to do the course I'd applied for. I think having the starting a course this late in the year will be beneficial to you and other students because there are a lot of other organisations that have ridiculously early deadlines so people like me are left without those opportunities.

    If you're doing an organised and paid for gap year package, all your clients will be like this:


    Could you really cope with that?
