curators, and managers.
http://www.heritageinterp.com/interpretive_training_center_course_catalogue_.html


 
The Heritage Interpretation Training Center now offers 43 new and advanced college-level courses in heritage interpretation.  For all of our courses, you can start the course at any time and complete the course at your own pace.  In most cases, the HITC is the only heritage interpretation training site offering most of these courses.  All courses are based on 40 years of  “ real work/planning experiences in actually doing what we teach”.  Our courses also award CEU unit credits.
 
What the course tuition includes: interpretive e-textbooks – our interpretive master planning two-volume textbook set and specialty textbooks.  Also handout and reference materials, YouTube video for each unit, and as an e-LIVE course, you can talk with the course instructor/coach anytime, by e-mail chat, phone or SKYPE.  The professor is in! You don't have to go through the course alone. 


We can also offer any of our 43 courses for groups, planning teams, docent classes and others where you want more than one to take a course.  Tuition discounts for multiple enrollees are available.  All of our courses can also be offered live at your site, museum or facility.  Ask for costs and details.
