Heritage Interpretation Training Center
Interpretive Planning Courses


There's no question that every park, nature center, historic site, world heritage site, zoo or botanical garden who currently does not have an interpretive master plan for their site, would benefit from having one.  Interpretive plans serve as marketing tools, audience development tools, writing for grants and related funding and general long-range development phasing.  If you contract with a consultant or landscape architect to do an interpretive plan for you the costs usually start at around $8000.00 and goes up.  Or ---- you can learn to do one yourself and save a lot of money and learn an important personal development and "marketable" skill.  Here's a list of our interpretive master planning courses and related support courses.  We offer 43 different professional courses in heritage interpretation.  You can start our courses at any time and work on the course at your own pace.  You can use the course to actually work on your sites interpretive plan too. All of our courses include copies of our college textbooks on interpretive planning and live discussions when you need them with the course instructor.  To find out the content details for each course visit that courses web site page.  All courses award a certificate of completion and CEU credits.
