Nine month's ago I attended the 3 day Tour Manager training course in Peterborough  and found it excellent in every way.  Informative, practical, hard work, but fun!

I'm now reporting back to say that as a result of that, and a bit of persistency on my part, I have already been offered work and have accompanied three successful tours in the UK.  Janet Goodwin has also been very helpful with advice on how to find tour management work overseas and I hope to have some new assignments abroad within the next year.

I have just returned from the Tour Management course in Peterborough and I simply have to say what a fantastic course it is. Our group was great and both Janet and Elaine delivered the information very well. The course is concise and easy to understand, but the sheer amount of knowledge you gain is simply fantastic. I can guarantee within the three days you will be raring to go out and lead a tour of your own. Highly recommended.

I have just completed the 3-day course in Peterborough and I just have to report back on what a FANTASTIC course it is!!! Very informative, intense, enjoyable and the content was superb! We had two guest speakers who were very experienced in the Tour Manager's role (having of course done the course!) and were excellent ! The group were great as well, which only added to the enjoyment as a whole!

People from all walks of life who just want a career change for whatever reason and I am hoping to start work soon in my dream role. This is something I have wanted to do for years and now I may have the opportunity as I've had such a good start!

Thank you, Janet, for everything - you certainly know your trade and it was a wonderful course! Good luck to everyone out there.... just do it!

I have just completed 3 days of hard work and oh boy was it worth it? Most definitely!

You know so often you go on training courses and you think what am I doing here and how boring is this. Well how refreshing it was to thoroughly enjoy the action packed full three days. The course was delivered very professionally by trainers that certainly knew all there is to know about so many aspects of travel.

The group were all very friendly and all participated well throughout - people from all walks of life and different ages - so if like me you want to change your life and embark on something you have always fancied doing but never got round to then I would thoroughly recommend this course.Just pick up the phone and change your life - I already have an interview lined up, so wish me luck!

Following my course, I was invited to go for an interview with Solos for Christmas cover. I was thrilled to see two of my friends that attended Janet's course there also - a mini re-union!!!

Following that initial interview I was invited back for their training day which I will attend in a couple of weeks. I am then "shadowing" a hostess for a weekend in Bath in November which I am really looking forward to ! I have wanted to work for Solos for ages, and I truly believe that the fact I attended the 3-day course hugely helped in my being selected for an interview - it shows how serious you are about wanting to go forward as a Tour Manager.

Since then, I have been offered a weekend trip with Newmarket to see Cliff Richard in Birmingham and I'm hugely looking forward to that - it will be my first assignment (Miss Money Penny !!!). So, the work will start to come in guys and girls - if proof was needed, Anita was with me on my course and she, too, has been offered work!!!

As I said before, just go for it - you will hugely enjoy the professionalism and massive information offered by Janet and her team in Peterborough!
