Gap Year & Special Offers

LANACOS specialises in languages. This does not mean that you have to be a language specialist from the beginning. You may want to go into finance, medicine, drama, PR or a completely different career. The benefit of LANACOS is that you will not only gain authentic experience of living abroad (meeting new people and discovering new worlds) but you also gain the portable skill of a foreign language.

"All my enquiries were answered very promptly so it was very easy to book through LANACOS."

To make the most of a gap year, first concentrate on the language on location, improve your fluency and then you have more options available to do: meaningful volunteer work, internships and paid seasonal work

"LANACOS took the time and trouble to discuss, research and organise a tailor-made French language course for me together with the opportunity to undertake a placement with a lawyer and stay with a super host family who shared my interests and made me extremely welcome. A truly wonderful and memorable 7-week experience as part of a Gap year which will stay with me for a long time to come. Thank you LANACOS."

If you are considering a gap year, then it is important to discuss your options and note that all courses are not the same. Some universities will recognise the quality of one course as opposed to another. All LANACOS courses are properly vetted and certified to make your choice easier.
