To ensure students get the most out of the day, we include a comprehensive aftercare package along with every ticket. Students are sure to have an enriching experience listening to our speakers, learning in a way that is so different from day-to-day classroom life. It's sure to leave a lasting impression.
We don't want, or ask, students to spend the day taking notes. Instead they take home a comprehensive journal featuring pre-interview segments from the speakers, along with expert articles covering areas such as nutrition plans, training advice and teamwork.
The journal includes an access code for our online aftercare area. Here they'll be able to recap on the video highlights from the event, and watch talks from past and future conferences as well – they get lifetime access! Parents and guardians can also use this area to learn more about the experience their child had at a PRC Elite event.

GB Olympic Rower
Mark’s rowing career started at the age of 14 at the Poplar Blackwall & District Rowing Club. In 2008 he was appointed captain of the prestigious Leander Club, and he and his rowing partner, Zac Purchase, were the only unbeaten crew in world rowing, sealing their status by winning GB's first ever lightweight medal and Olympic gold in the Beijing Olympics. They continued to be an unstoppable force in the world of rowing, winning gold in the 2010 and 2011 World Championships, and silver medals at London 2012. We are delighted to have Mark speak for us at PRC Elite's conferences this year.
