The summer holidays are in full swing – but we all have different ideas about what really makes a holiday. Some want to chill and relax whilst others want to see and do as much as they can possibly cram into their time away.
Our fun quiz tries to match how you like to spend your holiday time with the type of learning and development that might be best for you. It’s a little tongue in cheek of course but you might be surprised how our holiday choices reflect our learning styles.
You've just won the lottery! Woop woop! You cannot wait to book your trip to...
- Tanzania – for the adventure of a lifetime
- Mauritius – relaxed and chilled in some of nature’s most beautiful surroundings
- Malaga – traditional, reliable and familiar
- Rome – ruins rock

Time to get comfy and settle in for your flight. There’s no better way to spend the time than…
- Reading up on all the activities – you wouldn’t want to miss anything
- Sleeping!
- Making the most of the free drinks
- Checking out the latest films

You're lying by the pool in sunny Crete. The rep bounds over to you with her list of excursions. You...
- Instantly book the jet skiing with manic glee
- Tell her to go away – you just want some quiet time with the sun
- Jump at the chance for the nightclub tour. PARTY TIME!
- Grab your camera and fossil brush, 'cos you're headed straight to the ruins!

Time to eat! Holidays are nothing without great food, so you…
- Take off your backpack and grab your protein bars
- Dive into the all-inclusive buffet
- Just keep drinking – there’s no lunch like a liquid lunch
- Head out to find some authentic street food – the weirder the better

Bad times - you've just come back from holiday. You're back home, and everyone keeps asking you what your favourite part was...
- Too many to choose! Rock climbing, diving, bungee jump, sky dive - they were all amazing!
- Uh, hello!? Have you SEEN my tan? Sunning it up!
- Keep the noise down, my head's still throbbing...
- Well, seeing as you ask, come over and I'll show you all my photos

 Mainly Ds) The Culture Vulture
Seeing the sites, learning all you can, and sharing your new experiences with others are the reasons you travel.

You like to try and broaden everybody else’s horizon by sharing what you’ve learned and imparting knowledge.
Our Award in Education & Training is a great fit for Culture Vultures – teaching others and imparting knowledge comes naturally to you, so why not formalise that and utilise it as a new skill in the workplace? This course gives you all the tools you need to be able to teach in the workplace – whether it’s for giving company inductions, cross-skilling your co-workers, or even holding health & safety briefings.
