The T-Guide course aims to equip tourist guides with the knowledge, skills and competences to ensure a pleasant and rewarding experience for visitors who may not otherwise get the chance to visit museums and other heritage sites.
T-Guides are trained to guide visitors who may be neurodiverse, have early-stage dementia, learning difficuties, Downs syndrome or other conditions that require particular consideration when organising and carrying out guided tours.
Training includes an e-Learning course, self-study, two days of face-to-face instruction/workshops and a practical exercise - organising, carrying out and documenting a guided tour with a group of visitors, including persons in the target group(s) and their friends or carers.
