ACTIVE GUIDE TRAINING
What is the Active Guide Training?
The Active Guides training will focus on equipment knowledge, the role of Active Guides on our Cycle Croatia and Hike Croatia Cruises, first aid, cycling routes and destination knowledge. The training will be completed with the assistance of presentations, discussions and practical workshops.
The first day will involve a Bike Workshop and First Aid Session (run by the HGSS), with the second and third days of the training being the practical elements of the course that will take place on the field. Successful participants will gain important skills and inside knowledge of the active tourism industry.
