What pre-departure orientation and/or training is given?
We send out two pre-departure packs prior to departure. The first will be dispatched just as soon as we have received your ‘join’ form, a 175 deposit and have allocated you a place. This contains information on how to raise the cost of your SV placement through sponsorship, further information concerning the community projects, vaccination requirements and other health issues, the adventure dossier that is relevant to your personalised itinerary including a kit list and all necessary travel information. Four weeks before you depart we will send you details and information relevant to your initial arrival at the overseas airport in pre-departure 2. In addition we will invite you to a pre-departure meeting and orientation day that will give you the opportunity to meet the SV team to discuss the expedition. Your on-placement SV crew for group projects or in-country co-ordinator for placements.
