What is Docent training like?
The course is taught in the Museum’s Education Building classrooms and on the museum grounds. Trainees are required to spend time on the Museum grounds, observing docent tours and interpretive presentations. Trainees must receive passing scores on section quizzes, mid-term and a final exam. Trainees are expected to attend all classes. They may miss no more than three sessions, and these must be made up. Upon successful completion of the course, trainees attend a graduation ceremony and receive diplomas as they are welcomed into the Museum family. You are welcome to browse through the 2010 course outline, though the course changes from year to year.
