About London Training
Guides are trained under the auspices of the Institute of Tourist Guiding, which accredits training courses throughout England. Most training courses for guides last for at least two academic terms and some, e.g. London, last for nearly two years. A wide spectrum of academic, specialist and practical training is provided, as well as a core curriculum of the history, architecture and social development of the country. Background Originating in London, the Blue Badge guiding qualification was first awarded by regional Tourist Boards so that every guide would have the same high level of background national core knowledge combined with in-depth local knowledge. The Blue Badge is now the responsibility of the Institute of Tourist Guiding. As well as acquiring knowledge, Blue Badge Guides are trained in the selection and presentation of their material. This process has been so successful that English trainers have trained guides all over the world, and the Blue Badge is recognised internationally as a benchmark of excellence.
