I took the Professional Certificate in Tour Guiding at Stanmore School of Business to boost my career as a tour guide in Brazil. The course was pretty cool, with some really useful tips on how to handle groups and deal with unexpected situations. I liked the part about sustainable tourism, it's something that's really important to me and I feel like I can make a positive impact on my community. The course materials were okay, some of the videos were a bit dry but the quizzes were fun. Overall, it was a good experience and I'd recommend it to others, but maybe not the most exciting thing I've ever done.
