Skills Programme: Cultural Site Guide

This NQF Level 2 qualification equips candidates with the skills to design and conduct tours at specific cultural sites or locations in South Africa.

Cultural site guiding is centred on preserving and enhancing the cultural identity, heritage, and significance of a site to align with specific goals or values. Whether it’s a historical landmark, a natural reserve, or a community space, cultural site guiding involves activities such as interpretation, education, conservation, programming, and community engagement.

By guiding the culture of a site, guides can ensure its sustainability, promote meaningful interactions, and facilitate a deeper understanding and appreciation of its cultural significance among visitors and the community.
