Application Process

The Tour Guide Training Corporation of Canada has an important screening process to ensure students are truly suited for a career as a Tour Director. After filling out the general application, applicants will be contacted by one of our staff for a personal interview. During that interview, all aspects of Tour Directing are discussed so that applicants truly understand the role required.

TGT staff will analyze each application and confirm acceptance within a few days of the interview.

Early application is recommended because of the limited class sizes. Classes are based on minimum number of students and are subject to change.
