Expanding on @nycwalking said above you can go to http://caminosantiago.org/cpperegrino/comun/inicio.asp where training is listed in several countries. I have attended the American Pilgrims on the Camino course and found it excellent and served as a hospitalero last December and will again this December. American Pilgrims on the Camino have an upcoming training in November, http://www.americanpilgrims.org/.

Have you walked the Camino?
If so, you might contact Rebekah from Moratinos and consider volunteering at San Anton.
Breathtaking experience!

Hi! How do we get in touch with Rebekah? Thanks!
 
Get a Spanish mobil number + data while on the Camino
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Hi, forum friends,
Just to offer a personal reference of @Krimpa. We have walked together twice. He has all sorts of physical building skills and the like and would be happy to help out in an albergue in whatever way needed. I've written to Reb and a few others I know personally, but since the CSJ (he's British) is not offering hospitalero training till next year, @Krimpa won't be able to get "official certification" till then. He would really like to get a look of the "other side" of albergue life asap -- before he does anything crazy like move to Spain and buy an albergue.

Buen camino, Laurie

Could I ask what the CSJ is? I assume by the (he's British) quote it's something relevant for British people?
Thanks

"... The Confraternity of Saint James was founded in London by a group of six people in 1983 to bring together those interested in the medieval pilgrim routes through Spain and France to the shrine of St James at Santiago de Compostela, and in the associated rich heritage of art, architecture, history, music and faith. ..."
