Quest's flagship course involves 4 terms from January to December and is open to male applicants between the ages of 17 and 21. The first 3 terms comprise the Quest Core Course activities based on the development of technical, natural, physical, business and social life skills. The 4th term (sometimes referred to as Core+) is dedicated to “specialization” and extending the leadership and technical skills gained on the Core programme. Graduates of the Core Course are able to focus on skills development in certain selected areas, including acquiring practical leadership experience and a work placement relating to their chosen area of interest. This is a flexible programme, combining experiential learning opportunities with practical leadership experience, work placements and culminating in the planning and execution of an overland expedition.
