At IGA, diversity isn't just a corporate buzzword. It is the way we work, and it comes through in everything we do. From the high-performing instructors, to the educational services we provide, IGA advocates unique thinking and instructing with the most up-to-date curriculum. We have become the top training and certifying school by creating an inclusive environment fueled by innovative ideas and teaching methods. Our instructors have diverse cultural backgrounds, beliefs, perspectives, and lifestyles. Yet they all have one thing in common - their ability to excel in the Travel and Tourism industry and impart that knowledge to the students. Currently we are working not just to expand the number of international locations you can choose to receive your training but maintaining the most up-to-date curriculum taught by the very best instructors. It is an educational process that works best for more people in more ways than ever. A goal with this kind of magnitude requires the brightest, most forward-thinking minds around. We have them here at IGA and they are making a difference in our programs and students lives. There are 24 instructors, all carefully chosen for their world-class teaching abilities and industry backgrounds. IGA utilizes this group of instructors in your programs. They have more than 400 years of combined International Tour Managing and Tour Guiding experiences including motorcoach tours, railroad tours, cruise ship assignments, owning their own Tour Operating companies and Destination Management companies, teaching, industry speakers, published authors and photographers, as well as designing and marketing tours for major companies. They can offer insights that only come from years of working in the industry and your instructors clearly care about the student's needs and provide them with real travel experiences that engage, enrich and inspire. They are ALL graduates of the International Guide Academy and are actively working in the areas they instruct. They bring their domestic and international experiences to the classroom and are experts in their field. The core of your programs are to encourage you to develop your knowledge and skills through the guidance and leadership of the instructors and by the use of such sessions as actual motorcoach trips, group and individual problem solving, research techniques, individual student presentations, walking tours, airport visits, day trips, visits to the classroom by leaders in the industry, etc. Based on significant contributions to the International Guide Academy
and the Travel and Tourism Industry, as well as 10 or more years
of instructing at IGA, Connie Dineen, Sid Wilson and Doug Paterson
recently were named as "Senior Instructors". |
