Standard attendance courses

In the case of unfavorable development of the epidemiological situation, all standard attendance courses will be carried out online!

Online courses are carried out via the Zoom app (we recommend downloading and getting to know the app before the courses start)
A video recording of each session will be taken. This recording is solely for the purposes of carrying out activities related to the AMIF/31/01 project.
There will be an in-person meeting before starting the course, where we’ll check and verify your valid ID (biometric card, passport etc.) and you’ll sign the necessary documents to participate in the course. Participation in this meeting is mandatory.
Before the first lesson, students will receive an email with login details for Zoom

We open standard attendance courses in two levels: A1 and A2

A1 level is intended for complete beginners with no knowledge of the Czech language (who have never studied Czech) and for students with an elementary knowledge of Czech (e.g. students, who have taken a few lessons and know basic daily life phrases)

A2 level is intended for lower-intermediate students, who have already passed an A1 language course (whether in ICP or another organization or language school)

Courses are intended for students over 15 years old.
We open courses twice a year – February and August

Each student pays a 2000 CZK motivational deposit, which will be refunded at the end of the course if their attendance was at least 70%

Fill out your personal data and take a placement exam to determine your Czech language level. If you’ve already signed up into the system before, then just log in with your login details and take the exam.

Based on your score from the exam, the system will show you a schedule of courses corresponding to your level. Out of these, pick only one and sign up for it.

You may choose to enroll in a different course until 11:59 pm on the 12th of February. Further changes cannot be done on the day of the course lottery.

The system will randomly select 15 participants and 10 alternate participants from the list of enrollees for each course.
