The ambassador scheme is primarily aimed but not exclusive to those who work within the tourism industry or come into contact with visitors on a regular basis, however anyone with an interest in the scheme or wishes to deepen their knowledge on all that makes Eryri exceptional are welcome to participate and become an ambassador.

A range of free interactive online training modules have been produced to increase knowledge about Eryri National Park. This approach allows everyone to learn at their own speed, convenience and location.

Modules on different themes have been produced to allow you flexibility in completing all modules or just those relevant to you. The modules are a mix of text, images and films as everyone learns differently. The modules are –

1. Welcome to Snowdonia National Park Authority
