Pathways
Pathways maintains Toastmasters' four guiding principles: experiential learning, self-paced learning, peer evaluation and mentoring. Each of the program's tailored learning paths have five levels of achievement, building progressively in complexity. Each path includes 14 projects, including a mix of required and elective projects. The highest level of achievement remains the DTM and you must complete two paths to meet the education requirement of achieving your DTM.
