The Blue Badge Qualification

A Blue Badge Official Tour Guide

Registered Blue Badge Official Tourist Guides are trained and qualified to work in a specific region or area, in this case the Heart of England, with both walking and coach tours.  Nowadays they are trained not only to bring history and heritage to life, but to entertain and look after their group, as well as advise on how best to occupy the day.

The badge is the official sign that the holder has successfully completed a course of training which includes written and practical examinations resulting in being Registered with the Institute of Tourist Guiding.

All members of the Guild of Registered Tourist Guides hold the coveted Blue Badge Award, the official British national standard guiding qualification and internationally recognised mark of excellence.  Guild membership also ensures that your guide is fully insured with Public Liability Insurance, which is an essential requirement.  Blue Badge Tour Guides are selected, trained, examined and quality assessed by the official British Tourist Boards and more recently by the Institute of Tourist Guiding.

 

Blue Badge Tour Guides have a range of languages, specialities and interests, and can guide on foot, in cars, on coaches, on trains and on boats.  They have a wealth of experience which is respected by discriminating tour operators and travel agents throughout the world.  They take pride in constantly updating their knowledge to enable their visitors to enjoy Britain's immense, unique and varied heritage.  They are practical, punctual, reliable and thrive on the unexpected, welcoming individuals or groups, here on business or for leisure.
