The course combines the theoretical foundations of the profession with practical strategies in delivering quality interpretive programming to visitors.

This 32-hour course includes:

The history, definition, and principles of interpretation.
Techniques on how to make your programs purposeful, enjoyable, relevant, organized, and thematic.
How to use tangible objects to connect your audience to intangible ideas and universal concepts.
