Is it difficult to take the tour guide certificate test with zero basic knowledge?

It is difficult to get a tour guide certificate with zero knowledge.

(1) The teaching materials are not unified. The National Tour Guide Qualification Examination books are professional examination books for the tourism industry. However, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism does not have uniformly designated special teaching materials and only publishes the outline. No textbooks have been formulated, and the review materials currently on the market are mixed and uneven. The real exam questions from past years have not been made public, so it is difficult for candidates to get started.

(2) The knowledge scope is too broad. The knowledge scope of the National Tour Guide Qualification Examination involves all aspects of the tourism industry. It can be said that the top knowledge is astronomy and the bottom knowledge is geography. Without a lot of effort, it is difficult to become proficient in all aspects of the tour guide exam in a short period of time. For candidates with zero foundation, it is still quite difficult.

(3) The examination format is difficult. The written test and the oral test are difficult to pass, which makes the already difficult tour guide qualification examination even worse. The tour guide qualification examination is divided into a written test and an oral test. The written test includes basic knowledge of policies and regulations, tour guide business, national guide base, and local tour guides. The oral examination includes explanations of tour guide words from more than ten scenic spots in the province, as well as examination of tour guides’ emergency response capabilities and service standards. It is difficult for candidates to grasp the key points.

Tour guide certificates can be divided into two types: formal tour guide certificates and temporary tour guide certificates. The official tour guide certificate (referred to as the "tour guide certificate") is valid for life, and the temporary tour guide certificate is valid for a maximum of 3 months; in addition, after the validity period of the temporary tour guide certificate expires, it cannot be extended. If you need to continue to hire, The travel agency must reapply to the tourism administration department for collection.
