Part 2 : Learning To Lead Heritage Tours (2 days)
To build tour-guiding skills, you will have the opportunity to:
1. Be a “customer” on a guided tour (so you can watch another guide at work)
2. Be coached through designated tours.This segment of the training is the equivalent of a full dress-rehearsal.
This element of the training will take place over the months of November and December , with you being ready to lead tours at the end of 2013 / beginning of 2014.
Certification
The initial 4-day programme meets the training requirements of the ABNLP (American Board of Neuro-Linguistic Programming) at Diploma level (4 days) and will also be accredited by the IACTM (International Association Of Coaches, Therapists and Mentors).
Upon successful completion of the initial 4-day programme, you will be eligible for the following certifications :

The possibility of certification as a “Coleraine Ambassador” upon successful completion of the final 2 days is currently being explored with Coleraine Borough Council. In order to be eligible for this award, you will need to have completed the full 4+2 days.
