The Strategic Partnership Aims to Advance Global Language Learning Experiences
Eugene, OR – Avant, The Language Proficiency Company, has partnered with Guardian Travel Group to expand access to global learning experiences and internationally recognized language certification for students across the U.S. and beyond.
Guardian Travel Group, a leader in educational student travel, designs immersive itineraries that blend history, language, and cultural exploration. Now, through this new collaboration, Guardian travelers can access discounted Avant STAMP™ language proficiency tests— which can be used to qualify for the Global Seal of Biliteracy, a language proficiency certification awarded in over 65 countries.
This partnership creates a powerful opportunity. Students can:
- validate their language skills in 150+ languages
- potentially earn a credential that boosts college and career opportunities
- and receive exclusive discounts on Guardian’s enriching group trips–further enhancing their language skills.
“We’re excited to partner with Guardian Travel Group to help students take their language learning beyond the classroom,” said Avant CEO David Bong. “It’s not just about travel. It’s about connection to the learning and building real-world language skills that open doors.”
By linking assessment and certification to cultural immersion, this partnership bridges the gap between classroom learning and global enrichment. Whether learners are preparing for their first international trip or continuing their bilingual journey, the path from proficiency to passport just got even more meaningful.
