When do the courses start? <\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Standard courses for adults are being opened in ICP twice a year , preparatory courses for permanent residence exams, conversation courses and e-learning courses are likewise opened twice a year. Exact dates for registration in the respective courses are posted with sufficient time in advance after clicking on \u201cMore info + Registration&#8221; (V\u00edce info + Registrace) of the respective course <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Is it a problem if I don\u2019t know my level?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s okay! To determine your language level there\u2019s a placement test, which you can take during phase 1 of your registration. The system will determine your Czech language level as either A1 or A2 based on the results of this test. If you\u2019re a complete beginner, you may skip the test.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Attention: <\/strong>If someone else completes the test for you, we won\u2019t be able to identify your level and enroll you for the corresponding course. Hence, please complete the test yourself to avoid unpleasant situations. Thank you.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Is it possible to register in advance or to secure a spot in any course?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, no.

After the end of the registration week and the start of the course, it is no longer possible to change the course.<br\/>Think carefully about whether you can really participate in the course you are applying for (i.e. the days, time and format of the course suit you).  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What should I do if I can\u00b4t attend any of the scheduled courses?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are very sorry, but we do not have a suitable course for you. However, we are not the only organization in Prague that offers Czech language lessons.
