RED TURTLE TRAINING
Tutor • Trainer • Educator
School trips have always been fun but frantic, with extra organisation, chasing, making sure pupils, parents and colleagues are in the
right place at the right time. You hardly have time to rest and relax while you’re abroad. And some people call it a holiday? Now it
can be.
We’ll do all the work for you. All you need to do is provide the pupils. We’ll set up training and payment schedules, provide you with
draft letters for you to send out, posters and attend parental information and briefing evenings. We’ll also give you dedicated access
to our app which allows for secure contact and regular updates to parents during the trip at no extra work to you.
