TourPrep Tour Director Training 2024

THE DETAILS

Modules: Over seven weeks, students will complete online modules on their own. Assessments will be given at the end of every module and must be passed with a score of 80% or greater.

Weekly Classes: Every weekend, a live online class will be given by one or more of our instructors. These weekend classes will be based on the topics of that week's modules

Optional Practicum: At the end of seven weeks, the course will culminate in an in-person practicum in Dallas. The practicum will consist of four days of live instruction and practical evaluations and motorcoach training. Students will put their newly acquired skills into practice. The live practicum will have several graded assignments due before the practicum begins. With IATDG’s stamp of approval, graduates of the program will be ready to start their exciting new career.

WHAT IS A TOUR DIRECTOR?

As a type of project manager/customer service representative, the tour director is responsible for leading a group of travelers on a multi-day sightseeing tour. The group travels together, eats together, and experiences the activities of the tour together. The tour director wears many hats. They are in charge of logistics, researching and delivering commentary, keeping track of guest food allergies and requests, partnering with the motorcoach driver, and more. It’s definitely a challenging job, but it’s also incredibly rewarding.
