Educational Project has been our critical focus throughout the year with various activities. To follow-up with our project of tour-guiding training for apprentices, RTC continues our program in 2015 to create an opportunity for senior students to learn and practice knowledges on the tour-guiding major they’re studying at school. This program has initiated and organised in 2014 and received massive and positive feedback from both students and tour operators in Hanoi. Attracted more than a hundred applications, RTC has chosen 20 students for our intensive three-month training. 5 out of 20 was verified to be ready for guiding on virtual tours.
