    IGA prepared me with more than I could have ever imagined. It gave me not only the ability to be "tour ready" but confidence that I could do this job. I knew I loved to travel, I gained a solid knowledge of the escorted tour industry and I finished the certification program and experienced countless opportunities for work. The instructors were outstanding, enthusiastic and helpful.

    I wanted more than a job change, I wanted more than a career change, what I really desired was a meaningful life change and then I found the International Guide Academy. The program was intense and you had to earn your certification not just "show up" in class. I can truly say that I am the happiest I have ever been in my life. I am traveling, meeting people, seeing and experiencing different parts of the USA and getting paid to travel. If you want the most rewarding and exciting job in the world maybe it's time you thought about changing your life and do what I did. Join the family of International Guide Academy graduates.

    For almost 40 adult years of my life, I have always considered education an important part of my growth. As such I have investigated, enrolled, taken courses, etc. since 1970. In all my years, I have never received as much support and respect for me as an individual than I had from the International Guide Academy. What amazed me most was how much time they spent with me on the telephone and with e-mails prior to my deciding to go to their school. I got to say that the course itself was fantastic and now as a graduate I continue to receive personal attention to all my needs. Thank you.
