The national tour guide certificate exam consists of a written test and an interview. The written test has four subjects: Policies and Laws (Subject 1), Tour Guide Business (Subject 2), National Tourist Knowledge (Subject 3), and Local Tourist Knowledge (Subject 4). The interview focuses on the tour guide's service abilities (Subject 5).
The written test does not specifically mention an English component. However, it covers various aspects of the tour guide profession, including knowledge of policies, laws, ethics, language skills, and cultural knowledge. While English proficiency is not explicitly mentioned, it is possible that some questions or tasks may involve English.
To prepare for the interview, candidates need to demonstrate their tour guide service abilities and knowledge of tourist attractions. The duration of the interview varies depending on the candidate's language proficiency and the number of tourist attractions they have prepared.
In conclusion, while the tour guide certificate exam does not explicitly state an English component, English proficiency may be indirectly assessed in some parts of the exam.
