Funding, tax deductibility and accreditation
Our range of syllabus-linked overseas study tours are designed specifically to meet the professional development needs of Australian teachers.
In most cases, our study tours should be tax deductible for those currently teaching as a requirement of your job. Please speak to your tax agent for professional advice.
Some teachers may be able to have all or part of the tour fee subsidised by their school’s professional development program. Our detailed itinerary booklets provide syllabus mapping to accompany your request for funding and we can also provide a supporting letter on request.
The structure of each tour includes between 30 and 45 hours of professional development in the form of lectures, workshops, guided site visits and the chance to engage in collegial discussions. For NSW teachers, the hours are NESA accredited at a proficient teacher level.
