BOOKING PROCEDURE FOR NRG2GO TRIPS

A current Resort Availability List can be checked by clicking HERE or by clicking on the red link at the top of "Our Resorts" page.

Scheduling is only available for those instructors who have been approved by NRG2GO. Click here for Screening Procedure.

Scheduling is done on a first-come/first-served basis.

Seriously consider all angles – Instructors are asked to seriously check all angles prior to making a travel commitment – scheduling, babysitting (if applicable), budget, realistic expectations and air availability should all be seriously considered before proceeding with the next steps.
There are two types of scheduling:
1. Departure dates within the next 6 months - confirmable and finalized with required paperwork (contract sent by NRG2GO & program fee paid by instructor).
2. Departure dates beyond 6 months - instructor name is "wait listed" which means when date/resort is decided upon, name is put on availability list which holds this option. The instructor is then contacted by NRG2GO six months prior to trip to confirm and finalize with required paperwork (contract sent & program fee paid).
Step #1 - Select a date - Once an instructor has been approved by NRG2G0 (refer to ‘screening’ page on our web site for specifics), dates of travel are then discussed. Instructor should refer to the NRG2GO Availability List. Availability is always subject to change.
Step #2 - Email date to Terry at NRG2GO (terry@nrg2go.net) - Be sure to have a starting point. It is asked that instructors narrow down their dates by sending their top one or two preferences of dates and/or resorts.
Step #3 - NRG2GO then sends a request to the specific resort for the specific date(s) - A request is an extra step that some resorts require so they may review the instructor's experience and check hotel availability. Requests take on average one to two business days. A request consists of an instructor’s brief bio and picture which is put together by NRG2GO. Once a request is approved, it's considered firm so again, instructors should have checked all angles prior to requesting a date.
Step #4 - Firm up your trip - Once a request is approved by resort, NRG2GO sends the instructor the ‘required paperwork’ which consists of the NRG2GO contract and details for sending program fee. Once this information has been sent back to NRG2GO, the trip is considered firm and the specific travel week(s) is then listed as "N/A" (not available) on the NRG2GO Availability List.
Step #5 - Air reservation - It is after this point that air can be booked. Air can be booked anytime after the required paperwork has been sent (approximately 6 months prior to travel) and needs to be secured no later than 3 weeks prior to date of travel for travel during high seasons. During lower seasons, it can be booked closer to departure (if from within Canada) at NRG2GO’s discretion. If departing gateway is from within Canada, TPI Travel, the NRG2GO Travel Division prefers to make the booking. The most up to date flight options are sent (for instructors flying from Canadian gateways) approximately 2-6 weeks prior to date of travel (depending on season). These quotes are offered at greatly reduced fares. The intention is for the NRG2GO trip to be as cost-efficient as possible. Instructors from other countries should use the services of their own, local travel agent. If air is booked through NRG2GO, the instructor will receive an air only confirmation letter from -mail.
Step #6 - Preparation details sent to instructor - Each instructor will receive very detailed travel information via e-mails from NRG2GO. This includes a personalized hotel confirmation document as well as a flyer template which is personalized by the instructor and returned to NRG2GO (to be proofed prior to travel) for promotion while at resort. Names of contacts, resort and class information are all shared. One of NRG2GO’s goals is to prepare instructors to "go with the flow" and to make the transition from home teaching to resort teaching as smooth and seamless as possible. With this said, much of the success of this depends on the mind set and realistic expectations of the instructor.... hence our motto: ’We provide the opportunity, you live the experience’.

Other Paperwork Required for NRG2GO Trips:

Travel Protection - Medical insurance, cancellation/interruption and baggage protection should be booked at the same time as the air booking. This coverage offers peace of mind while traveling abroad and is highly recommended for all travelers. TPI Travel can offer a competitive price for RBC Protection for travelers from Canada. TPI Travel is the travel agency owned and operated by Terry and Sarah Terrion.
Feedback Forms - All instructors are required to submit a feedback form to NRG2GO following each trip. These forms are sent with the preparation details. Feedback is also received from resorts and forwarded to instructors.
