About The Institute OF TOurist Guiding

The Institute of Tourist Guiding is a professional membership organisation which is committed to developing, maintaining and promoting professional standards in tourist guiding.
Institute of Tourist Guiding ..... the voice of professional guiding
​
The Institute's mission is...
-
To promote quality tourist guiding as an essential component of the visitor experience, fit for the 21st century
-
To set, monitor and maintain standards of professionalism in tourist guiding
-
To accredit training programmes and award qualifications that are recognised as the highest standard in tourist guiding
The Institute awards qualifications at three educational levels.
Each level is exemplified by one of the Badges we present to successful candidates - Blue, Green or White.
Each qualification is specific to the geographic area for which the candidate has been trained and examined.
According to their level of training and examination, candidates qualify in up to three modes of guiding - at sites, on guided walks, on a moving vehicle.
