Customer Experience
The course starts with gaining an understanding of what Customer Experience is, and how guiding differs from leadership.
Customer Profiling
Considers how we profile our customers before, at the start of and during the trip or expedition. This is vital to get right to match the challenge and meet your customer experience targets, as well as ensuring informed consent and protecting yourself from negligence.
Legal Issues
We examine the legal background behind working commercially as a guide. How to protect your customers and yourself, using case studies and examples.
Expedition & Group Dynamics
This element examines why people come on expedition and the tensions that can arise whilst away. How to recognise and manage groups.
Guiding Skills
We examine many of the softer skills that are required by guides, including conflict management, rapport building, dealing with complaints, recognising and managing fear to name a few.
