Secondary education received Bedřich Procházka at reálce in Rakovník. From 1872 he studied three years odbor water and road construction technology in the Czech and German technology in Prague (1875 - 1876). In 1876 he became assistant at the chair of descriptive geometry to the German technology, a year later returned to the Czech technique. Czech technique he was worked for 7 years, of which the last 4 years and two years after the technology went, represented by Professor Francis Tilšera. During this period, as an assistant, he performed a test of teacher competence in mathematics and descriptive geometry (1879). In the following years, his pedagogical talent applies particularly in secondary schools. Given the lack of permanent teaching positions they had in Prague a few. In 1884 the habilitoval technology in the Czech Republic in Prague, "the teachings geometrálném lighting. His habilitation in 1895 extended the kinematic geometry. However, neither the title of a private docent it failed to place any of the universities, and the year 1887 goes Bedřich Procházka suplent to act as a secondary school in Chrudim. In 1890 they extended even to the Approval of physics. The real teacher is in the year 1891, which is assigned to reálku in Pardubice and in 1893 it appointed professor at the Czech reálky in Prague-Karlin. From the same year is also responsible Substitutions lectures for Professor Tilšera in the place is named after three years K. Pelz. In 1897 Bedrich Prochazka was dismissed from Prague and was appointed director of the newly founded reálky in Nachod, where he worked until 1904.

With the departure in 1904 of descriptive geometry Professor J. Sobotka released to Prague on Czech technology in Brno professorship for which he was soon appointed Bedřich Procházka. In the academic year 1907-1908 was elected to the Institute's dean of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. In Brno, however, did not stay long. After four years (1908) goes to the Czech Technology in Prague, where he was now following year (1909 - 10) elected rector. In the years 1913 - 14 he was the dean of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and in 1916 - 17 has led the general department. Bedřich Procházka retired from the board in 1925.
