Czech Tourist Guide Qualification Exam study plan

Build a dated timeline of the Czech lands from the first prehistoric settlement through 1620, marking at least 25 turning points with dates and one-line significance

Recite from memory the ruling houses of the early period (Přemyslids, Luxembourgs, Jagiellonians) with one signature monument or event for each ruler

Locate 15 key historical sites on a blank outline map of Bohemia and Moravia and state why each matters

Explain the Hussite movement, its causes and its consequences aloud in under 5 minutes without notes

Extend the timeline from 1620 to the present with at least 20 dated entries covering the Habsburg era, 1918, 1938–45, 1948, 1968 and 1989

Distinguish the main architectural styles (Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Historicism, Cubism, Functionalism) by listing three diagnosing features of each

Match 15 named Czech monuments or buildings to their style, century and region without reference material

Narrate the National Revival and its link to the Czech National Theatre and National Museum in a 300-word spoken segment

List all Czech UNESCO World Heritage sites with their region and the single reason each was inscribed

Describe 12 major monuments (castle, church, town square, museum) in a structured 90-second format: date, style, patron, one story

Draft interpretation scripts for three Prague or regional stops using a theme-based rather than date-listing structure

Identify five commonly confused monument pairs and write the distinguishing fact for each

Demonstrate four presentation techniques on the same stop: storytelling, questioning, contrast and object-focused description

Apply group-management basics during interpretation: positioning, voice projection, eye contact and handling a two-person side conversation

Map the 14 Czech regions with their capitals, one signature sight and one natural feature each

Explain the main river basins, mountain ranges and protected landscape areas to a lay listener in plain language

Plan a full-day itinerary for a mixed group including timing buffers, walking distances and a rain contingency

Calculate a tour budget from supplied inputs: transport, admissions, guide fee, meals and a per-person price with a stated margin

Compare rail, bus and car options between three Czech city pairs and justify the recommended choice

Draft a written risk-aware day plan noting opening hours, booking needs and accessibility limits for two sites

Summarise the guide's trade-licensing position in the Czech Republic and the practical duties that follow from it (contract, insurance, invoicing)

State the guide's obligations on pricing transparency, client data and complaint handling in your own words

Draft and rehearse a welcome speech, a mid-tour regroup announcement and a closing thank-you

Practise three complaint-handling scenarios using a listen-acknowledge-offer-confirm structure

Demonstrate the first-aid response sequence for heat exhaustion, a twisted ankle and an unresponsive adult

Write a risk assessment for one real route naming five hazards, their likelihood and a mitigation for each

Deliver two tour segments of 8 minutes each entirely in the target foreign language, with correct specialised vocabulary

Handle three unexpected logistic changes (late group, closed site, transport cancellation) with a spoken plan B within 60 seconds

Complete two timed full-length mock exams covering all nine domains and log every wrong answer by domain

Re-teach your five weakest facts aloud from memory until recalled correctly twice in a row

Run a 45-minute complete guided walk end-to-end with timing, transitions and a question break

Compile a one-page personal cheat sheet of dates, styles, UNESCO sites and legal duties for final revision
