All of our heritage interpretation training courses employ a "hands-on, minds-on" approach to experiential learning. Our courses can be adapted for natural history sites, historic sites, heritage tourism, zoos, botanical gardens, industrial interpretation, and so on.

Our heritage interpretation training courses are "product" based so that the participants leave with more than just ideas. We try to keep our training classes small (under 15) so that we can give lots of individual project attention. We offer training from one day workshops, to 2 and 3 day seminars.
