COURSES

The qualification of “Starlight Guide” (120 hours) is intended to qualify in accompanying visitors in the Astrophysical Observatory of the Teide (Tenerife) and the Roque de los Muchachos (La Palma) and their telescopes.

The Starlight Guide knows the cultural dimensions of the gea, fauna and flora of the area where he/she works, as well as its story and human activities, in order to be able to disclose a complete view of the environment, but, also, with this course he obtains specific training which qualifies him/her to perform his/her professional functions within the observatories of the Astrophysical Institute of the Canary Islands.

The program includes specific instructions about the activity of the guides when they take groups during the night and the demands and precautions which they must bear in mind. Within this sense, they will receive the benefit of the long experience in similar activities which have been performed in the Canary Islands, specifically in Tenerife and La Palma.
