There are two kinds of tour guide cards, domestic tour guides and international tour guides. The only difference between the two is the oral exam. Domestic tour guides test Putonghua, and international tour guides test foreign languages. At present, there are relatively few domestic and international tour guides, especially those in small languages such as Thai and Korean. There are no restrictions on application conditions, as long as you graduate from high school, there is no requirement for foreign languages.
The written test for tour guides in Beijing is held every June165438+1October. There are two papers: one is tour guide business and legal knowledge, and the other is Beijing tour guide and tour guide foundation. One week after the written test, there will be an oral test, which is divided into Mandarin and foreign languages. The oral exam lasts about fifteen minutes. First of all, I have to say a tour guide (the scenic spot decided by lottery). The scenic spots are mainly the six major scenic spots in Beijing: the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, the Great Wall, the Ming Tombs, Tiananmen Square and the Lama Temple. After the tour guide, the examiner will ask you to draw an envelope. There is a problem in it. The examiner asks questions, and you answer them. There are five foreign language questions, three of which are about Beijing tour guides and two are about tour guides. The foreign language oral test requires the whole process to be answered in a foreign language. Mandarin has one more question about Mandarin than a foreign language.
One month after the exam, you can call to check your grades. If you get 60 points in every course, you will pass. If you fail a course, you can't pass the exam, and you can't keep your previous grades. This means that we must reorganize.
If you pass, you can get a Beijing tour guide qualification certificate and conduct a three-day pre-job training. However, if you have this card, you can't go out with a tour group. You must hang it in the tour guide service center and pay the deposit (the deposit will be refunded). After finding a travel agency, the travel agency will issue a tour guide card and an ic card. Of course there will be training. After the training, I will wait for the travel agency to send a delegation to you.
The guide is really flexible. You can use the holiday to take a tour group, especially an international tour guide, and sometimes you can go abroad to accompany you all the way. But being a tour guide also requires talent. Not everyone can earn that much. Tired, too. Another point is that you need to pay before joining the tour, and then go back to the travel agency to check out after joining the tour.
However, there is no doubt that the profession of tour guide is very challenging. I have several friends who are tour guides, earning tens of thousands a month, and one earns 8 thousand at a time. Moreover, this profession requires you to have a wealth of knowledge, and you must have something to tell your guests. It is also an improvement for yourself.
