Training

Once employed, you may receive one to two years of on-the-job training under more experienced travel guides. Tourism companies may even have recognized apprenticeship programs you can apply for. Though you may be paid as an apprentice, you may not earn as high a salary until you are fully trained however. During your training, your customer service, communication, organization, listening, and attention-to-detail skills will be put to the test as an employer must be confident in your ability to work independently and make smart decisions
