We also provide a wealth of information to be used as the basis for your guiding, but we do expect you to work on this material to make it your own, and to further develop it through independent research.

June – Mid August
(Guide Course Free of charge - beginning of June)
Starting date Beginning of June
Place of work Lofoten (Mostly Leknes, Sometimes Svolvær and Reine)
