 Training Hospitality at it's BEST!
 
 Remi Couriard with Nigel Philpott have set in place a training opportunity to supply “Knowledge and Host” training to our Tourism industry. 
 
The name of this business is ‘Cognito’ which is registered at Jersey Finance Services. 
 
The concept came into existence from the need within our Tourism industry to cater for the ever-increasing number of French and German visitors arriving on the island.  At present, even with the recently qualified BBGs, our market place continues to supply sufficient numbers of French and German speaking guides to satisfy ever growing demands.
 
From Bontour and Tantivy Blue Coach came requests to supply a level of guiding skills, that will enhance the visitor enjoyment of our Island..
 
The course “ Island Host’ has been endorsed by ‘Visit Jersey’ & Jersey Hostpitaly Association.
​
Continuous programmes of a similar nature will continue to be offered during this year and beyond!
