What is the authorisation?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

The authorisation is a proof of the guide’s professional knowledge<\/strong>. The guide has undergone extensive training for\u00a0the geographical area<\/strong> and has also trained in Guide techniques and hospitality. The education program ends with a written as well as a practical test where each applicant guides a group to prove her\/his guide competence and language skills to the assessment committee. If approved, the guide receives authorisation and is now a Qualified Tourist Guide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A test is done for each language the guide wishes to be qualified for.<\/p>\n

The training is arranged by the regional guide association or a university, and is coordinated with the Swedish Guide Association. To apply for authorisation, please contact your nearest guide association. This goes for both persons who want to train to be a guide, and for active guides who wish to obtain a professional certificate.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”18px”]
