Heritage Interpretation Training Center
2023-2024 - Course Catalogue


JVA is pleased to announce the development of our Heritage Interpretation Training Center, providing university level courses in heritage interpretation, many of which are offered by no other organizations.

All courses are presented and coached by Prof. John Veverka (certified interpretive planner and trainer) with 40 years of interpretive planning, training and coaching experience world-wide.


John A. Veverka - Course Instructor and Coach.

- Author of the college textbook "Interpretive Master Planning".
- Author of the new (2013) college textbook Two Volume Set:
    *Interpretive Master Planning - Strategies for the New Millennium
    * Interpretive Master Planning - Philosophy, Theory and Practice.
-  Author of "The Interpretive Trainers Handbook".
-  Author of "Advanced Interpretive Planning" (MuseumsETC, Dec. 2014).
-  Author of "The Interpretive Trails Book" (MuseumsETC -January 2015).
-  Contributing Author in the book "The Language of Live Interpretation",
  Museum of Civilization, Canada
-  Contributing author in the book: 10 Must Reads - Interpretation. (MuseumsEtc. Publisher).
-  Associate Editor - The Journal of Interpretation (Of the National Association for Interpretation).
-  Publisher of InterpNEWS, The International Heritage Interpretation e-magazine.


Why take our courses? Of course one reason is to gain the training in a variety of interpretive topics and subject - matter, taught by an instructor with years of experience in actually doing the programs/services we teach.  Secondly - costs !  With the costs of travel expenses, and being away from your office for several days, this is a very cost effective way of receiving the training/coaching you want while working/taking the the course at your own pace - start when you want, finish when you want.

Finally - this is a e-LIVE course.  All course units would be sent to John Veverka with whom you can chat with via SKYPE, e-mail or phone about your work.  All course units require a "hands-on" learning experience (homework).  We remember 10% of what we hear, 30% of what we read, 50% of what we see and 90% of what we do.

You can visit the web site page for each course for that courses content and registration details.
