Bury St Edmunds White Badge/Green Badge Modular Course

The Bury St Edmunds Association of Registered Tour Guides in partnership with St. Edmundsbury Cathedral, are accepting applications for a modular White Badge (Cathedral) and Green Badge (City) course.

  • Course status: Approved
  • Application closing date: 10 Oct 2025

The Programme aims to prepare students to enter the tourist industry as professionally qualified and registered Green Badge/White Badge Guides for the Bury St. Edmunds area; the Programme is open to all.

Registered Tourist Guides are qualified by examinations set and administered by the Institute of Tourist Guiding, the government-approved standard-setting and registration body for the tourist guiding sector in England, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and Jersey.

Those students who are successful in these examinations will be awarded the Institute’s Green/White Badge for Bury St. Edmunds. The Green/ White Badge is the symbol of this national qualification, and this Programme forms the foundation for continuing professional development in tourist guiding and may also be a ‘stepping stone’ to the Blue Badge of the Institute.
