Pathways Information
How is it designed?
There are eleven Paths from which to choose. Each Path contains five levels. Each level contains a number of projects. An easy acronym to remember is P-L-P.
- Path
- Level
- Project
A project might be:
- A speech
- A number of speeches and an evaluation
- Completing a role as an evaluator, Table Topics Master or the meeting’s Toastmaster
- Creating a blog
- Creating a podcast
- Moderating a panel discussion
This is just a small sample. There are many electives from which to choose. You will also find that many of the electives are repeated across the Paths so you may encounter the same elective on a second Path if you don’t choose it the first time.
How long will it take me to complete a Path?
Each Path comprises of around twenty to twenty-five projects.
What do I do after I complete my Path?
