While choosing your course, you need to take into account the following:

1. What your aim is ( e.g. passing an international exam, improving communication skills, managing work tasks more effectively, just winding down after work and learning something on top etc.).

2. What your entry language level is (go through the quick placement test on our web).

3.  How quickly you need to reach your aim (this is important when you decide how intense the course should be).

4. How much time and money you are able or willing to invest. 

5. What course format suits you best (a group of students or an individual course etc.).

Exam preparation courses help you get ready for an international language exam of your choice, this means they focus on practising test skills needed for showing your best at the exam. This reflects in the course content and the coursebooks. You can expect regular "mock tests" checking your level and whether you are ready for the exam. All language competencies exercises (listening, reading, speaking and writing) will be in the exam format. The aim of the course is to make you familiar with the types of exercises you will come across at the exam and to activate and consolidate your current knowledge so that you succeed at the exam.

Standard courses will teach you the most useful practical skills. You will improve all key competences (reading, writing, speaking and listening.) while communicating in the target langiuage with the focus on the correct pronounciation. General coursebooks are used in these courses.

Public courses are the most common and most affordable form of language learning. These are groups of 4-7 students which take place regularly on the same day and time (mornings, afternoons or evenings) in the same classroom. These courses are carefully put together so that all participants have the same language levels and course aims. At the same time it is important to keep in mind that specific requirements and expectations can never be completely identical and that to a certain extent the public course is always a bit of a compromise regarding its pace, type of homework, language activities etc.

Individual courses are an extremely effective form of study. The course is tailored completely to the student´s needs and specific requirements. The student decides about the time, frequency, intensity and pace. Along with the teacher they pick the most suitable coursebook or study materials and the most suitable teaching methods for reaching the aim specified by the student. Also it needs to be mentioned this form of study is one of the more expensive ones.

A dual course is a small closed group of students with requirements (for time, content, format etc.) that cannot be met by the officialy listed public courses. These are usually small groups of 2-3 students who evenly share the cost of the course. Therefore while the effectivity of the course is fairly high, the cost remains acceptable.  Fotr this course to work out well it is necessary that the students have similar language levels and requirements.

Yes, it can! In 2016 Ministry of education, youth and sport approved a regulation according to which students can have their language skills confirmed by an official international exam of B2 level (based on CEFR) instead of the Maturita exam. A previous arrangement with the school headmaster needs to be done.

Depending on student´s current level the exam preparation and passing the exam itself can take up to several semesters. That is why we strongly suggest to think this over well in advance and take up the exam preparation ideally at the beginning of the 3rd year of high school. To obtain the certificate itself students need from 2 to 3 months (the exam + the waiting period before the certificate is issued).

Courses with native speakers are considered more suitable for advanced students. The aim of such courses is usually purely vocabulary extension, or these are specific converstaion courses. With all other courses the crucial moment is whether the teacher is fully qualified and supervises the course on a high professional level so that it has the maximum effect and valid outcomes.  The country of the teacher´s origin is of a lesser importance.
