Languages
If you speak any other languages fluently and with a wide relevant vocabulary, you will improve your chances of getting on an Institute accredited course, and work thereafter. Before being qualified to guide in a language other than your mother tongue you will have to pass an oral exam. If English is not your mother tongue, and you want to guide in English you will have to pass an English oral exam. See Languages
