Past participants experiences
‘‘I had the typical Chinese experiences; climbing the Great Wall, sliding down the Great Wall, eating bulk amounts of rice and drinking mass amounts of tea… and then there were the other not so typical experiences; riding horses with Mongolians, trekking through rice fields and mountain villages, bathing in local hot springs, and even owning the stage with my own rendition of Lady Gaga in a Chinese nightclub. I had so much fun and have come home with so many stories to tell’‘

Once application has been completed in full, our recruitment team will contact your nominated referees before arranging a pre-screening telephone interview with you. Your pre-screening interview is with a past Letz Live participant who will tell you about their experiences abroad, as well as answer any questions or queries you may have (we find that the best way to find out the ins and outs of a Gap year is straight from the horses mouth!). Once this has been completed, we will organize a mutually-convenient time for your formal interview with our recruitment team. Upon completion of your formal interview, we will commence placement formalities (assuming suitability).
