Our Family:
Welcome to the PROTS Family.
PROTS was established and Registered on September 15, 1995.
We are situated in Sanawari Area, Arusha Town, Tanzania. (See City Map, below).
For the past 14 years we have worked hard and produced competent guides working with prominent companies and organizations all over Tanzania and in other foreign countries.
Producing professional guides has never been an easy task (in the absence of a National Curriculum).
Being guided by the industry demands for Professional Tour Guides we thrived to become trend setters and leaders for tour guides training colleges.
This success is also due to our decision to specialize only in Tour Guiding and Leadership and focused all our efforts and resources in tour guiding training.









Our Location: 
We are located in Sanawari Area, Arusha Town, Tanzania.
We are indicated on Arusha City Map as below:
 







 Our Role:
Tourism is growing at a good pace and therefore Professional Tour Guiding has a great role in the tourism industry because of the fact that from the time the tourist arrives in the country, goes around the attractions and facilities until he leaves the country, he is in the hands, trust and care of a tour guide. 
We have therefore realized this and we are happy now that the government has taken specific steps in developing the National Curriculum for Tour Guides of which we took an active part.  
We welcome you to join PROTS and become a Professional Tour Guide.

Our Mission:
Our Mission is to produce Professional Tour Guides and make Tour Guiding a recognized Profession in Tanzania.

Our Vission:
Our Vision is to become a high learning Institution and Center of Excellence for Professional Tour Guides. These entails a lot of strategies, efforts and innovations and we intend to share it with you in our blogspot.



Our Motto:
"There's No Substitute for Field Experience!"
We provide tourist groups to interact with our Students on Safari, Mountain and Cultural Exchanges.

Authentic Explorers is a sister company of PROTS.
Its early achievement is establishing a Scholarship Fund that has already sponsored more that 10 students at PROTS.


Field Trips:
We have three types of Field Trips
  • Ones organized by students to National parks.
  • Trips with Tourist Groups for the Real Field Experience
  • City Tours from Via Via Cafe with tourists guided by our Students.

Below are the International Trainers from the Ministry inspecting our class during the Tanzania Teacher's Development Program.

Our Perfection: 
Our approach is the Competent-Based Education & Training (CBET). 
This polishes the Skills, Knowledge, Attitude & Performance (SKAP) gained from the course.
Our students are recorded with our State-of-the-Art equipment and DVDs recorded are used to polish their presentation Skills.

Our Transparency:
School Blog:
A lot is going on at PROTS and we will can't wait to share it with you. Whilst Websites are complicated to maintain and to update, blogs are easy to operate and it really fun to upload latest events and we just can't keep anything away from you. We opened this blog March 2009 and already pages are piling up. But then our space got full and we had to separate it into four Blogs:
The School Blog: www.protschool.blogspot.com  
The Students Blog: www.protsstudents.blogspot.com
The Graduates Blog: www.protsgraduate.blogspot.com
The Distant Learning Blog: www.protseclass.blogspot.com

Essentially, the School Blog gives priority to the following areas:
  • Highlights: Current events: Like New Programs (Photo Commentaries); Short Seminars; Special Training Programs for Female Guides; SOS Page for Students in Urgent Needs.
  • General Info: Core Curriculum, Joining Instructions, Fees Structure, Registration Form.
  • Scholarships: AE - Educational Fund, Friends of PROTS, California, Sponsored Students, Supporters of PROTS.
  • Courses & Programs: Gen. Knowledge, Prof. Guide Skills, Wildlife Ecology, etc. Field Trips, Training Aids.
  • News: Teacher's Dev. Program, National Curriculum Development, PROTS Projects. Government Projects.
