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 11 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 11 Paths on the Toastmasters website.
