Further Afield is a non-profit membership organisation that represents independent learning providers in the UK FE sector. We are very experienced in working with Turing Scheme opportunities. Our expert partners have hosted 2,500+ UK students on Turing Scheme projects since 2021 and hope to open 2,000+ further spaces in 2024-25. Join us and get represented by the experts.
Our placement partner’s projects run in Europe and Asia. Their 20 person coordinator team work across a network of over 100 partners.
Our founding team began running projects while studying Chinese at Oxford University, so the network has a unique China focus!
For graduates of UK FE providers that would consider TEFL or international school teaching abroad, the world is truly their oyster. Opportunities for fantastic careers abroad are abundant – we want to point UK FE learners towards these in order to broaden their horizons, build global Britain and support levelling up.
We want to open up global opportunities and access to the Turing Scheme to UK FE providers – large and small! We are well positioned to support our members in obtaining funding from the Turing Scheme and opportunities from our partner project provider. We provide end-to-end support to make the experience seamless for our members.
Our placement partner has nearly 700 4-5* reviews on Trustpilot. See below:
I would recommend this to a friend who would like to go into teaching as experience wise its a good opportunity to learn about the job. Also it a good life experience to go to a foreign country where English isn’t frequently spoken to improve their understanding of the outside world.
The highlights were of course the Chinese people I met along the way. They would cater and be extremely nice to you for whatever you needed, I can’t think of a bad thing to say! Aside from that China is great for someone who loves adventure like myself with every landscape and terrain
Overall, it has been one of the most amazing experiences in my life. Gotoco with its professional team made this experience unforgettable. Confronting a different culture changed and developed my personality.
I would recommend the program because of it being a perfect opportunity to explore other country but also oneself. Traveling so far, especially after graduating from university, can help clear the vision for what one might want to do and achieve in their future.
