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.

321. Hi-Lites: Wildlife Ecology Photo Commentaries.

2010-11-27T21:36:00.005-08:00

Wildlife Ecology Photographic Commentaries 2010 -
Competence-Based Education & Training (CBET).
Home Page: www.protschool.blogspot.com/

In January, 2010 PROTS developed a new approach in its traditional training techniques and replaced lectures with Photographic Commentaries. This techniques has proved to be most ideal for Tour Guides who are required to give only commentaries and NOT to lecture. We use photographs for every sighting and correspond it with the best Commentary a guide must need to tall to clients.

Below: To make this more effective and Competent-Based, students are recorded doing presentations and they can look at their recording so as to see areas of improvements.
The DVD & VHS can be sent to parents, sponsors and friends.

New Improvement - July 2010
By July 2010 this Photographic Commentaries program took a new turn for the better. The students are required to choose their 10 Best Slides and record them on a DVD ready for marketing themselves. On the DVD are Animal Identifications and Birds, too.
The light and sound has been improved a great deal, too. It is just great!
See the progressing List of our slides at the end of this page. The list is now 400.

Photos: Students doing practical presentations of Wildlife Commentaries in class and outside class.

Tanzania tourism is Wildlife-based and tour guides must be equipped with enough knowledge on our rich wildlife heritage. Traditionally and since 1995, we used the Knowledge-based lectures from the famous Pyramid of Life book by Croze; to provide our students with knowledge on Animal Behaviours. This is what gave our name a leading edge as our students/graduates were reputed in providing interesting knowledge to tourists.

But then, we realized that most of the graduates experienced problems extracting the correct information to correspond with the sightings during Game Drives. This has been a challenge and after a long time of “chewing cud” we came up with the Competent-based Photographic Commentaries.

This method was originally used by the students doing projects for their Diploma Graduation. From January 2010 it has been introduced to replace the Wildlife lectures.

We have constructed PowerPoint Presentations containing Photographs each with a corresponding commentary. (Photo). It is much easier for a student to understand what to say when he comes across a lion hunting, for example. After a month or so of trial, the Photo Commentaries has proved effective. It is now very easy for the students to talk with much easy and confidence on each photo in the presentations. It is so good that, students with a few weeks in class can say more than what a six months student could have dared say! Feedback from the recent field trip at Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara National Park is that all the students were excited about recognizing most of the sightings we have covered in the first 200 slides! Older students are ready to stay longer and Graduates are planning to come back for this!

We have grouped 100 slides for each month. This can give us a clear image of the pace we are taking. This means, we will be able to study about 1200 slides in one year having covered a great area of the traditional Pyramid of Life contents.

Written Monthly Tests will be done and results published in Individual Pages in this blog along with photos taken during “Single Recording”.

To make this method more competent-based, each student is required to be recorded as he goes through each monthly group. We have nick-named this process as recording a “Single”. A student comes forward and gives commentaries as each photo comes up on the screen. (Photo). And to give this Learning Process the effect it is made for, we have developed 6 stages as follows:

Stage 1: Swahili + Photos + Text.

Stage 2: Swahili + Photos.

Stage 3: English + Photos + Text

Stage 4: English + Photos.

Stage 5: Extra Language (French, Spanish, etc.) + Photos + Text.

Stage 6: Extra Language + Photos.

These recordings are done with a Sony DVD Camera and transferred to a VHS Tape. This tape is a property of the student and he can keep it. He is encouraged to watch it as many times as possible in order polish his Knowledge and Presentation Skills. During the weekends, he can show this to his family, sponsors and friends, too. This will improve his confidence and more importantly his parents will get to recognize his efforts and therefore provide him with more financial help and moral support.

This process is still on trial and any comments and suggestions are most welcome.
