CLTC study plan

Map the full season-pass product ladder (single-day, multi-day, annual, membership tiers) and write a one-page comparison table from memory

Define the ticketing vocabulary set - gate, scan, will-call, comp, blackout date, capacity hold - and write a plain-language definition for each

Trace the complete purchase-to-entry lifecycle and label every point where a guest can be turned away or delayed

List the five most common season-pass guest complaints and identify which policy rule each one touches

Compare refund, exchange, upgrade, and transfer policies across pass types and note where they conflict

Draft the exact wording you would use to explain a blackout date to a frustrated pass holder in under 30 seconds

Build a decision tree for resolving a failed scan or duplicate-entry situation at the gate

Identify which ticketing problems require escalation and to whom

Categorize the venue's show types (seasonal, headline, educational, private) and note the guest-behavior expectations for each

Outline the standard guest-services sequence for a special event from arrival to exit

List accessibility and seating accommodations and state who authorizes each

Draft responses to three disruptive-guest scenarios that stay calm, firm, and policy-anchored

Rehearse combined scenarios where a ticketing problem occurs at a special event (e.g., a comp ticket for a sold-out show)

Write timed answers (60-90 seconds) to five mixed Domain 1 and Domain 2 prompts

Identify the top three facts from Domains 1 and 2 you still cannot recall cold and build flashcards for them

Self-score a 20-question mixed set and record error patterns by cause, not just by topic

Map every giving channel (one-time, recurring, membership add-on, matching gift, in-kind) and the processing steps for each

Explain the difference between a donation, a sponsorship, and a ticket purchase in guest-facing language

Outline how donor intent, restrictions, and acknowledgments are handled and where staff must not improvise

Draft a response to a guest who asks where their money goes and how much reaches the mission

Rehearse handling a donation request that arrives bundled with a ticketing or event complaint

Practice describing tax-receipt and acknowledgment timelines without overpromising

Build a contact-information matrix: who to call for ticketing, events, development, accessibility, and emergencies

Write three engagement scripts that turn a guest interaction into a giving or membership conversation without pressure

Describe venue layout, entrances, amenities, and evacuation routes in a single accurate walkthrough narrative

List every channel through which a guest can reach the organization and the expected response time for each

Draft accurate answers to five common visitor-information questions using only confirmed facts

Flag any venue or contact fact you cannot verify and mark it for review rather than guessing

Complete two full timed practice exams and score each by domain

Re-drill only the lowest-scoring domain until error rate drops below 20 percent

Rehearse the ten scenarios you handled worst across all eight weeks

Write a one-page pre-exam checklist of policies, scripts, and contact facts to review in the final 48 hours
