• Assessment: To find the right path, begin by taking the assessment. This helps you identify the path that best meets your needs, interests and goals. After responding to a series of questions, you will be presented with the path that best fits you and your current experience.  The Pathways Assessment helps to point you in the best possible direction.

• Base Camp: Your online gateway to the Pathways learning experience, where you access your educational materials, your education transcript, interactive projects and other useful tips, tools and resources. It also tracks your progress, connects you with members of your club, lets you view badges and certificates you’ll earn along the way, features resources to help guide you, including videos, quizzes, interactive activities and more. You might say, base camp is where it's at.

• Base Camp Manager: For most clubs, the vice president education (VPE) will assume the role of Base Camp manager. The Base Camp manager helps facilitate your progress by verifying your education, approving requests and more. In the event a VPE isn’t able to perform these duties, or if a club does not have a VPE, the Base Camp manager responsibilities will be fulfilled by the club president or club secretary. The central responsibilities of the Base Camp manager include:

  • Approving speeches outside the club

  • Verifying level completion

  • Tracking member progress

• The Navigator: An online tool filled with essential information about the Toastmasters journey. Use it to help you begin your journey and support your progress. Whether you are just embarking on your journey or are a seasoned Toastmaster, The Navigator can answer your questions and guide you along the way.

• Paths: Each path provides a unique journey. There are eleven unique learning paths and each is divided into five levels that build in complexity. The levels help you build on and apply what you have learned.

• Levels: Each path is made up of five levels that increase in complexity. The program is designed this way so you’re always building on what you learned in the previous level. All learning paths contain the following levels:

Mastering Fundamentals Level

Learning Your Style Level

Increasing Knowledge Level

Building Skills Level

Demonstrating Expertise

• Projects: Projects are the building blocks for each path. Each path has a set of 14 projects across all 5 levels (a combination of 10 required projects and 4 elective projects). A project is NOT necessarily a speech. It can be any of the following, usually accompanied by a speech at the end. Projects can be:

1. A speech

2. Two speeches and an evaluation (Evaluation and Feedback project, Level 1)

3. Table Topics Master (Active Listening)

4. Creating a blog

5. Creating a podcast

6. Moderating a Panel
