Pre-training online course discussion – Lesson 3

Consider these questions to start your journey from Ranger to Tour Guide. You can do this individually or as a group, discussing your thoughts and quiz answers together. Enjoy!

Your Speaking Experience

Have you ever spoken to a group, performed or played a big sporting game? We all get nervous sometimes, but having a basic plan and just being friendly can help us relax.

Do you know something about your Country you could share? If you were talking to a friend, could you tell them about:

  • Some plants and animals
  • The best places to explore
  • A cultural or local story
  • Why you love this place

Make some notes to discuss with your trainer.

There are many benefits of being a Tour Guide, for example:

  • Learning more about your Culture and Country
  • Having the confidence to speak to, and get along with, anyone in the world! 
  • Becoming a Leader who can solve problems
  • Earning respect from Elders, community and guests
  • Earning money and having fun!
  • Having variety at work and a new direction

What would you like Tour Guiding to do for you?

Please write some thoughts to discuss with your trainer. Few jobs can bring the benefits of being a Tour Guide!

Like everything in life, the more you put into it, the more you get out. Try hard to learn and do your best through this program and you will feel all of these benefits coming your way.
