Guide to Starting Pathways
Don't worry! It might seem like there are many steps but once you know how, it doesn't take long to use Base Camp to access your educational materials.
Follow the steps below or read this excellent guide prepared by Doreen Huang, Pathways Trainer!
1. Logging in to Base Camp:
A. Login TI website here. (If you have forgotten your password, click 'forgot password').
B. Watch this video: Let's log in to Base Camp
2. Choose your Path:
If you haven't chosen your path yet, go here (make sure you are logged in the Toastmasters International website). After choosing your path, go to Base Camp
Watch this video (How to Pick a Path) that introduces the different types of paths to help you choose.
Use this great Paths and Projects reference or Paths and Projects Matrix or What's in Your Path to explore all the details of each path.
Quick Tip: If you want to focus on speeches rather than speeches + leadership projects, choose either the Presentation Mastery Path or the Engaging Humor Path.
[Caution: if you don't want to do a *High Performance Leadership (HPL) in your path, don't choose Innovative Planning, Effective Coaching or Persuasive Influence!]
*What is HPL? It is a project where you apply your leadership and planning knowledge to develop a project plan, organize a guidance committee, and implement your plan with the help of a team. The size and scope of the HPL project generally takes 3-6 months to complete.

After you have completed a level, your club's Base Camp Managers (VPE, president, secretary) will receive an email to let them know you have completed your level and they need to go to Base Camp and approval your level. Feel free to send your VPE a message to remind him/her to help you approve your level in Base Camp and to submit your level completion in Club Central so you get your educational achievement credit.
