Gotoco

our support

Here at Gotoco, we don’t believe in charging students upfront fees to travel and join fun, engaging projects. We provide all of our support and platform to you for free and offer lots of funded benefits to make sure you can get the most out of your trip. Free means that we only offer programmes that have upfront costs to cover when we have pre-arranged funding via university, government or local partner grants.

What we provide



  • Funded/Free service! Free means we refuse to charge participants any direct fees upfront, instead we ensure funding for programmes is arranged via universities, government grants or local hosts


  • Funded TEFL training and certification (type varies by programme)


  • Funded bedroom and meals throughout your programme


  • Funded guidance on applying for a visa and booking flights


  • Funded 24/7 support throughout your time with us


  • Funded post-programme support for job references and career opportunities


  • Funded placement service

What you need to fund



  • Roundtrip airfare to/from destination. Occasionally this is also funded


  • Visa, pre-departure immunisation costs and travel/medical insurance


  • Refundable deposit, returned to you upon successful completion of your programme. We ask for £100 when you are invited to join our programme, with another £100 once your exact placement is confirmed


  • Background and criminal records check (e.g basic DBS £18 for UK applicants)


  • Personal costs for extra meals/drinks/travel during your trip; see estimated costs for these in our FAQs: www.go-to.co/faqs

Travel Grants!

We’re here to help make your trip as affordable as possible.

In  2022, any UK linked participants on our programmes will automatically get full funding! For all citizens or residents of the UK (e.g those on student visas)

We are also able to offer deposit discounts and cash bonuses to those that join us as Campus Ambassadors and attract 10 others to join our programmes. If you are interested in this, please check out and apply through the links on this page, and we will then send you more information on how you can spread the word and ensure you receive extra funding. 

How is the programme funded?

Summer camps and schools in China need your help and are excited to welcome you to their programmes. They cover your room and board, and provide funds to us to help them internationalise their programmes and give all of our support to you, including the TEFL training, Yangshuo holiday, in-country assistance, visa support, and outreach. We arrange extra funding from universities and government bodies to cover whatever else you need.
