How the clue works
Right, so period before university is your definition there — that's the gap year itself. For the wordplay, "constantly talk" gives you YAP, and "equipment" gives you GEAR, so you've got YAP GEAR sitting there. Now do the Spooner swap he's famous for — swap those initial consonants round — and YAP GEAR flips into GAP YEAR.
