Arctic Nature Guide - one year programme
Arctic Nature Guide (ANG) is a full year guide education located on Svalbard. The program is in English and on a basic university level. Having a guide education in the remote arctic nature implies more than great opportunities for adventure. ANG has a strong commitment to educate guides about the responsibility they have toward the fragile arctic nature and the safety for their guests. ANG students will learn the tools needed to travel safe and how to lead guests leaving as little trace as possible in nature. They will get the skills needed to facilitate learning and experiences in nature. An international student group, experienced teachers, guide companies and the arctic nature itself, will help you become one of the Arctic Nature Guides of tomorrow.
