On successful completion of the course, the UAE nationals and expatriates will become DTCM accredited Tour Guides, a crucial role in the booming tourism industry. DTCM launched the Licensed Tour Guide Training Course three years ago.
The participants will be given theoretical as well as practical knowledge regarding different aspects of Dubai, including general tourism, economic progress, infrastructure development projects and tourist attractions. First Aid Training will also form an important part of the course.
Faisal Al Muhairy, Executive Trainer with Training Solutions, said: "Participants will gain invaluable knowledge of Dubai, which in turn will assist them to pass on information about Dubai to tourists in order to create better awareness of our history, culture and traditions. They will also learn about the wide range of development projects currently under progress."
Participants will be taken on a tour of the historical and other tourist attractions including the Gold Souk, Dubai Museum, Al Ahmadiya School and Al Shindagha.
