Pathways Learning Experience

The Pathways is the Toastmasters education program, creating the framework behind the speeches and leadership projects that members undertake within their clubs. Pathways is an exciting, flexible and interactive way to develop your skills and help others in your club develop theirs. Pathways helps you learn communication and leadership skills that you need to succeed.

In Pathways, you will engage with one of 6 Paths depending on your personal development goals. Within each Path, there are 5 Levels of recognition that scale from Mastering the Fundamentals to Demonstrating Expertise. Over the course of these 5 levels, you will complete a variety of projects, including electives which allow you to further customize your Path to your learning needs.

Find an overview of the Pathways Learning Experience and all 6 Paths on the Toastmasters website.

Note: There are 5 legacy paths in addition to the 6 listed. If you are currently in a legacy path, you still have access to it, all new members will not.
