Commercial Czech courses
What
A relatively wide range of paid language courses provided by language schools is available in the Czech Republic. Such language schools are independent business entities or are established in state secondary schools, which are semi-budgetary state organisations.
Who
Czech language courses are provided mainly by language schools (Jazyková škola) all over Czech Republic. The price includes a certified exam or a final certificate of completion of the course. Czech language courses for foreigners take into account not only the learner’s initial level of knowledge, but primarily the language family which the learner’s native language falls under.
How
The following is a list of criteria which it is advisable to follow when selecting a paid Czech language course for foreigners. When choosing a school, be self-dependent and cautious!
Criteria for selecting a suitable Czech language course:
- What is the initial level of knowledge for the course?
- What age group is the course for?
- What is the hourly rate for the course?
- How often will lessons take place and at what times?
- What is the maximum number of students on the course?
- Who will the course teacher be?
- How will he course end – with a certificate of completion or a certified language exam?
Good to know
When choosing a commercial language course, be as independent and cautious as possible. Insist on a trial lesson before paying for the course.
