Study Overseas in Italy

This would suit:

If you want to bask in Italian culture, if you want to learn something while taking a week or two out of every-day life, if you would enjoy the company of others with the same interests, then AHA may have a new course for you.

We've only titled this course 'Gap Year for Mums' because it was the parents of our students who first showed envy at sending their child off to go on such an adventure, and then later a group of mums demanded that a course be organised for them!

But of course anyone over 30 is entitled to join this course, and we imagine career breakers, executive breakers, and the youthfully retired from around the world as well as empty nest mums and dads!
