Decision support for school trips

Trip decisions need
structured evidence.

Every school trip runs a governance cycle — from selection to post-trip review. ETI360 produces the structured intelligence each stage of that cycle requires. This page shows the cycle, the documents it produces, and how schools and providers engage.

The cycle.

Eight stages. One sequence. Every trip.

Stage 01

Selection

Shortlist of trips and providers against the school's own selection criteria.

Audit

The work is structured around two audiences. See how the cycle fits each.

Who we work with

The same cycle. Different operational realities.

For Schools

Governance and oversight.

International schools engage ETI360 for governance audits, compliance alignment reviews against ISO 31031, and ongoing advisory support for trip portfolios. The work covers the full cycle — from intelligence gathering before approval through post-trip review — and produces the structured documentation governance bodies need to do their work well.

For Providers

Proposal and operations.

Trip providers engage ETI360 to structure their proposal documentation once, align their operational records to the standards their school clients hold them to, and surface the intelligence that distinguishes well-documented providers from those performing compliance theater.

About

An advisory firm in the governance of educational travel.

ETI360 is an advisory firm working in the governance of educational travel. The firm advises international schools and trip providers on structuring the evidence, intelligence, and documentation that adequate trip governance now requires.

The firm's positioning is specific. ETI360 covers trip governance — risk assessment, provider vetting, compliance alignment, emergency documentation, post-trip review. The firm does not cover safeguarding, on-campus health and safety, or liability management; these are distinct disciplines served by other specialist firms.

The work is delivered through structured engagements, but the output is not advice alone. It is documented, defensible evidence that supports decisions across the full governance cycle.
