Our Training Seminars for Tour Guides are based on the organisational needs and the content as described by the contractor (agency, government institution). We focus our trainings and seminars on the strengthening of the guides’ communicative competence. The seminars and trainings are conducted in German. English is only used as “back up language”.
Prior to the seminars a detailed coordination is essential. An additional meeting/briefing with the contractor should be arranged on the day before the training starts.
The seminars last between one day (9 hours incl. breaks) and five days. The actual length depends on the content to be practised. Maximum 22 people per seminar.
If the seminar is meant to lead to the Tour Guides Quality Seal about 70 % of its contents are fixed. Such a seminar normally lasts 3 days. The prototype of an agenda is to be found here.
For the time being, we do not offer seminars exclusively for new tour guides without prior experience. Interested beginners can, however, participate as guest students.
We do conduct Information- and Training Seminars for the Office Staffof Incoming-Agencies and other institutes in tourism. They can be held in English or Spanish as well.
