Vocational Training
In 2005 BARET, jointly with Bulgarian Tourist Chamber, suggested to the National Agency for Vocational Education and Training (NAVET) to institute a new profession: Guesthouse Host, designed for rural house owners engaged in rural tourism.
In 2006 the Association founded a Vocational Training Center and obtained a professional license allowing it to offer training programs in 10 professions (12 subjects) in the sphere of tourism. These are: Hotelier, Receptionist, Housekeeping Attendant, Restaurant Manager, Catering, Chef, Waiter-Bar Attendant, Tourist Agent, Rural Tourism, Tourist Animation, Mountain Guide, Tourist Guide.
We elaborated the training programs carefully and selected our lecturers among the best and most experienced specialists in their respective fields - academics, members of professional organizations.
Having completed the courses and passed the state exams, both theoretical and practical, the students obtain a diploma and professional qualification. The program duration is 8 months.
