GDG- GUIDES

[wolfduke38 at comcast.net]

They have to in order to maintain there License, its part of the guidelines. 
How do I keep my license?
Once you are licensed, there is no additional examination necessary - ever. You are expected to keep up with your research and to keep current. You are expected to constantly refine your tour and, indeed, as you guide you actually begin to develop a lot of different tours in order to keep your own sanity.
Each year you are required to conduct a minimum amount of tours based on your category. Full time guides must do 175 tours a year, part time guides must do 100 tours a year and weekend, part time guides must do 50 tours a year. In addition, no more than 40% of those tours can be busses or groups. During the summer months, you must guide at least once every fifteen days. Presuming you meet all of those minimums and have not received complaints from visitors, you will automatically be renewed the following year whereupon you pay the fee and sign the licensing agreement again.
I hope that helps you, Ed
