News and Media: Teacher Preview Dates for 2010

10 March 2010

PGL Preview Visits and Ski Courses 

We understand that you need to reassure yourself, your colleagues and your LEA before taking a school trip, which is why we offer a full programme of preview visits throughout the year. A PGL Teacher Preview Visit gives you total peace of mind. Nothing compares with first-hand experience and our preview visits give you the best possible insight into your chosen course and destination, along with the opportunity to view your chosen centre, its accommodation and facilities.

Every year our Teacher Preview days and weekends fill up fast so make sure you are booked in sooner rather than later!

To book your place on any of these weekends or days call us on 0870 143 0143.
