Becoming a tour guide
Many people dream of travelling for a living, but what does it actually involve?
Tour guides accompany visitors on tours, providing special information on places of interest, and managing the schedule for the tour.
Starting out While you can work as a tour guide without formal qualifications, entry to the occupation may be easier if you can show you are qualified and you may like to consider taking a course. Options vary, but the Centre for Further Education offers a General Certificate in Guiding along with more specific subjects such as Guiding a 4WD Tour and Guiding a Ski Tour. You will also get some informal training on the job. Many would-be guides start out as volunteers, working in a place they know well, showing tourists around. Experience in a related field such as hospitality is generally looked on favourably by employers in the travel industry. Skills and qualities needed While everyone brings their own personality to the job, there are some basic qualities that all tour guides should possess: Energy and enthusiasm are an absolute must - when the day's tour is done, a guide still needs to study commentary and confirm the next day's activities, so you will often need to operate on very little sleep. | • A friendly personality is needed when interacting with clients, tour operators and the general public. • An insight into a wide range of cultures helps a guide negotiate all kinds of issues, not only in the place being visited, but also among the people on the tour. • Knowledge of emergency procedure and the ability to remain calm in a crisis will stand any tour guide in good stead. Your confidence as tour leader will filter down to the group. • The ability to handle any tricky questions that arise is a crucial component of the role. If you're stuck for an answer, you should be able to find the information and follow up. Know the reality Life as a tour guide often requires long spells away from home. Some find that busy times at work fall on holidays they would like to spend with loved ones. Burn-out is also a factor to consider but it does not mean the end of a career in travel. There are often openings for roles in product development and sales within the industry; experience as a guide will stand you in good stead for these. |

SCHOOL COUNTS THE COST OF STORM
When children and parents arrived at school in the small village of Brownston yesterday morning, they were surprised to see the head teacher standing outside the front of the school. The school gates were closed, because a tree had fallen onto the roof of the school hall and a number of windows were broken. A storm the night before had made school buildings unsafe, so the children were sent home until further notice.
Justine Cram, a mother with two young children at the school, said that she was unhappy with the way the head teacher sent the children home. ‘I have to cancel all my work appointments today. My customers won't be pleased, but I have to stay at home to look after my daughters,' she said. 'Children should be in school every day! The head teacher needs to think again about closing. He should find a safe place to teach the children until they can use the buildings again.'
Richard Thomas, the head teacher, explained that he had no choice but to send the children home. ‘The storm happened in the early hours of Monday morning, just a few hours before school starts. When I arrived, I immediately decided it was not a safe place for children to be in. I know parents are unhappy that the school is closed, but if their children or members of staff were hurt because of the problems, that would be worse.'
