Discover your opportunities for fantastic fieldwork in Morocco

Tailor-made satisfaction.

Each study tour can be specifically tailored to meet the requirements of your students, specification, and the learning objectives that you have for your visit. We will help you plan the programme your students need to meet any fieldwork and specification requirements. It is possible to incorporate the collection of evidence for Key Skills into your course, and to include teambuilding plus development of individual life-skills into your visit.

GCSE, AS and A2 courses.

We have a range of units targeted to hit QCA requirements for all stages of learning. Discover Morocco courses include Geography, Biology, Environmental Science, Geology, Science and Leisure, Travel and Tourism. We also run IB courses and can arrange community work.

Resources for learning.

Our Discover Group Leaders in Morocco are trained to help you deliver the requirements of your study tour. They have a wide range of experience working with groups in Morocco. They have the experience, commitment and enthusiasm to take your students beyond the base-line requirements for a field trip! All our units, safety systems, secondary information and risk assessments are provided on a DVD prior to your visit.  Units are designed to meet the requirements of current GCE specifications, but there are many more opportunities for discovery and learning within Morocco.

AS&A2 Courses (all specifications).

We aim to:

  • Deliver a fieldwork course which meets the requirements of the current GCE specifications for Geography, and if required, provide each student with the opportunity to collect data for their Geographical Skills, Research or Fieldwork;
  • Stimulate student’s interest in and enjoyment of geography through a high standard of teaching in spectacular locations;
  • Provide students with the opportunity to collect evidence for Key Skills;
