This 9-hour course will provide you with the facts and knowledge you need to perform guided tours of the Arctic University Museum of Norway, with a particular focus on the popular Sami and Northern Lights exhibitions.
This course is aimed at anyone who does or want to do museum guiding professionally, e.g. working for a guide company or tour operator in Tromsø. Other employees in the tourism industry in Tromsø will also greatly benefit from following this course.
The course runs twice; on May 6 and 13, and on June 4 and 5. It is possible to choose one date from either course if that suits you better. Each date the course runs 16:30-21:00 (4.30pm-9.00pm).
You will receive some printed material for a few of the exhibitions, and we will exclusively offer you a favorable price on relevant exhibition catalogues in our museum shop. The museum issues a course certificate to participants who follow the whole course.
There is a course fee of NOK 500 per student, payable in the museum shop on arrival (companies can arrange to pay by invoice). The class size is limited to 30 students, on a first come-first served basis.
Please sign up for the course by sending an e-mail siri.a.holmoy@uit.no, setting the subject to “Guide course sign-up”. Please include the dates of your preferences and inform us of any food-intolerances if you would like to pre-order a light meal.
We are looking forward to seeing you for a comprehensive and complete presentation of our exhibitions!
