Uluru Knowledge for Tour Guides
From 1 April 2011 it became compulsory for all tour guides working in Uluru to have successfully completed the Uluru Knowledge for Tour Guides Program. This program provides entry-level training covering all the things a tour guide should know when working in Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park including key areas of visitor safety, understanding the park's natural and cultural values and history, minimising environmental impact and legal compliance.
Successful completion of this course will be mandatory for all guides and drivers that interpret the park and its values. This applies whether your company visits Uluru only once, or more frequently. Tour groups who do not have a suitably qualified guide will be required to employ a local guide who holds the appropriate certification. Failure to do so will mean the permittee is in breach of the conditions of their permit.
Tour guides can study and complete the assessments whenever and wherever they want to. The flexible nature of this program lets the individual decide what is most appropriate for them. This is self-paced learning and all the tools needed to complete the course are supplied at the time of enrolment.
The program is offered through Charles Darwin University. Find out detailed information on how to enrol in the program and frequently asked questions.
