AU PAIR
Training/Orientation
Whether you’re chasing dreamy adventures or building that perfect Pinterest-worthy future, CAP has you covered! From the very beginning, we offer training and orientation courses that fit both your schedule and your vibe. Better yet, you can choose our in-person 1-day sessions in selected South African cities or, if you prefer ultimate flexibility, dive into our online course you can complete from your bed, coffee in hand, at your own pace. On top of that, both options include a snazzy completion certificate and resources to help you slay the au pair game.
If that wasn’t exciting enough, anyone heading to the USA will find this course absolutely essential for getting fully prepped. Meanwhile, if you’re still waiting for a match in another country, you’re more than welcome to join the fun. All in all, this is perfect for 18–29-year-olds chasing growth, glow-ups, and next-level confidence. Ultimately, CAP has your back as you say yes to new experiences and dream destinations!

The Experience — What to Expect
Imagine walking into a room as a stranger and leaving as part of a tribe — confident, connected, and buzzing with new energy. This 1-day session doesn’t just deliver information. Instead, it blends laughter, bonding, and practical lessons to prepare you fully for your au pair journey abroad, while also building genuine friendships along the way.
Guidance from Our Trainers
Total professionals. Forget dry lectures. Instead, expect interactive games, real-life simulations, and honest conversations. Trainers guide you through emotional awareness, cultural readiness, problem-solving, and more — all while keeping the atmosphere upbeat and supportive. By the end, you’ll feel fully prepared mentally and emotionally, and consequently, more confident about your next steps.
Who Can Attend?
This training is open to CAP Au Pairs and any applicants ready to commit. Even if you’re not signed yet, consider this your green light — we believe in second chances and new beginnings, and in addition, we welcome anyone striving to grow.
Is Participation Mandatory?
For applicants bound for the USA, yes — the training is required. For those heading elsewhere, it’s highly recommended because it builds confidence, resilience, and clarity well before departure, and in essence, strengthens your readiness for real-life challenges abroad.
Why Orientation Matters
Transitioning to life abroad involves more than packing a suitcase. That’s why we walk you through emotional readiness, cultural adaptation, and realistic expectations. In short, orientation helps you begin your journey grounded, prepared, and confident, and with that in mind, far better equipped to thrive.
