Representative Office of dvv international has been successfully working on educational projects in Karakalpakstan for several years already.
One of the recent successful activities was the first training course for guides and tourism operators. Over 30 persons could take the training and acquire knowledge and skills in tourism. Based on the training results, one can say that qualified guides and tourism operators in Karakalpakstan will improve the quality of services and will be able to make additional income.
The courses were organized by the social organization “Golden Heritage of Aral” and its staff, Daniel Lepetit, the expert of the German Development Service (DED), Karakalpak Bureau “Traveling and Excursions” and the National Scientific-Training and Consulting Center (NSTCC) under National Company (NC) “Uzbektourism”. This course could be implemented thanks to financial support from the DED and Representative Office of dvv international.
This course is valuable because trainers of the NSTCC NC “Uzbektourism” developed a curriculum that makes it possible to train guides and tourism operators within a short period of time in line with all quality standards. The training program included not only theoretical materials, but also practical sessions. To carry out practical training, an excursion to museums and historic monuments was organized, and the participants even could try their hands during training.
A characteristic feature of those workshops was that they were delivered by trainers from Tashkent and Karakalpakstan. Topics of the training program were distributed among trainers, and this joint effort was very effective and fruitful.
Along with successful completion of courses, the participants will be given the official certificate of NC “Uzbektourism”. Thus, they will be able to work as guides-escort interpreters in a legitimate manner.
