Tour Guide Training
Welcome to Charles Darwin University tour guide training.
Tour guiding is an exciting part of the Northern Territory tourism industry. Work opportunities include a range of fulltime and seasonal positions, for example: four wheel drive guide, coach driver guide, site guide, bushwalking guide, boat guide, among many others. These positions require various skills and knowledge based around extensive local knowledge of history, flora and fauna, good interpersonal skills, interpretive skills, and risk management knowledge.
CDU’s Palmerston Campus-based School of Tourism and Hospitality tour guide training courses are conducted in conjunction with local tour companies, remote Indigenous communities and apprenticeships and traineeships. Skills assessment and recognition of prior learning (RPL) is also available.
