Training to be a tourist guide
For a number of years the APTG has been actively
involved with the development of guide training qualifications in
the UK.
Our members have been encouraged to develop
guide training courses in many pats of the world. In the current
context of the emphasis placed by member states of the European
Union on quality and sustainable tourism. APTG members are
committed to upholding high standards and, where possible,
improving the quality of guiding and heritage interpretation.
After many years the Blue Badge is now
established as the mark of quality in guiding. To maintain the high
standard of the Blue Badge qualification, APTG is committed to
continuing professional development for its members.
All members are required to update their
information by using the monthly magazine 'Guidelines', media news
and by attending lectures, courses and seminars.
APTG organises its own programme of lectures
and visits from Autumn to Spring, which are very well attended by
members.
