Professional Guide Accreditation
The Professional Tour Guide Accreditation Program is a National Accreditation Program originally designed by Guiding Organisations Australia and now managed by Tour Guides Australia.
The Program provides a skills benchmark for all Tour Guides in Australia.
It is suitable for all types of Tour Guides located anywhere in Australia and engaged in any sector of the tourism industry.
Professional Tour Guides work in a variety of locations, in cities as well as regional and remote areas, in natural, historical and culturally significant environments, and they may conduct tours of varying length from 30 minutes to extended tours of up to 30 days or more.
The term “Tour Guide” means any person who leads or presents to a group of tourists on an organised tour or activity, of any length, and regardless of their type of employment status.
