Tuesday, September 16, 2025 will be remembered as a very special day for Christopher and Olga at Veritas Tours - as they officially received their Level 2 OCR Certificates in Level 2 Tour Guiding.

The pair embarked on their Level 2 course in April 2025, with Tutor David Douglas, who is also a tour guide in the city. The assessor was Luane Quigley.

"We are absolutely thrilled to have completed the course and want to place on record our sincere gratitude to not only Luane and David, but also the admin team and co-ordinators Beckey and Tracey, who worked so hard to make sure we had everything we needed to complete our studies," said Olga.

"A big thank you to New Gate Arts and Culture Centre, NWIFHE and our assessor Mr David Douglas from Derrie Danders," said Chris, adding: "Next step - signing up to Visit Derry and Tour Guides NI."
