Post-secondary education

Student status entitles you to state social support, health insurance, tax relief, and other benefits. Every student who enrolls in post-secondary education in the school year immediately following their high school graduation exam is entitled to this status. However, if you graduated more than a year ago (e.g., you have already completed a year at university), then unfortunately you are no longer legally entitled to student status.

If you want to enroll in a post-secondary course, you must first fill out a binding application form and pay the tuition fee. You can fill out the application form online on our website or in person at the school office. Tuition fees must be paid no later than three days before the start of the post-secondary course, and the amount is based on the current price list published on the school’s website.

Yes, tuition fees can be divided into two installments. The first installment must be paid no later than three days before the start of the post-secondary course, and the second by the end of the calendar year. Please note that first-minute discounts cannot be used when paying in installments!

Unfortunately, this is not possible. This is a one-year post-secondary course that must be completed and paid for in full. This means that even if you decide to split the tuition into two payments, you are still required to pay both, even if you decide not to continue the course in the second semester for any reason.

Yes, just like in high school, attendance is mandatory in post-secondary courses. The maximum allowed absence rate is 25%. If your absence rate exceeds this limit, we are entitled to expel you from the course without any refund of the course fee.

Some are, others are not. Students purchase textbooks at their own expense. However, we provide textbooks to our students at significant discounts.

Some of the materials are provided to students free of charge, and a textbook bazaar is usually held in consultation with students from the previous school year.

Yes and no. Although we offer you the opportunity to tell us your preferred lesson time, we are not obliged to accommodate this request. Although we do our best to accommodate your schedule, it is never possible to accommodate everyone.

The composition of individual groups must be adapted primarily to the level of the students and the capacity of the classrooms; the personal preferences of students are taken into account only as a last resort. Assignment to a group with lessons at your preferred time is therefore not guaranteed, and dissatisfaction with the lesson time is not a reason for a refund of the course fee.

Completing post-secondary studies with an exam is not mandatory. We will issue you a certificate of completion “just” for completing the course. However, if you want to test your knowledge, you have several options: you can take a state language exam or an internal exam at the selected level at our school. If you are interested, we can also prepare you for international exams (Cambridge, DELE, Goethe), for which we register students en masse. However, none of these exams are included in the course price.

It depends on the reason why you are not enrolling in the course. According to the school regulations, you are entitled to a full refund of the course fee only if you are not enrolling in the course for serious health reasons (upon providing a doctor’s note) or because you have been accepted to a university (upon providing proof of acceptance). If your reasons are different (e.g., moving, work commitments, etc.), you are not entitled to a refund of tuition fees.

Unfortunately, dissatisfaction with teaching is not a reason for termination of studies and refund of tuition fees according to school regulations. If you have any reservations about the management or timing of lessons, or about the approach of a teacher, please discuss the situation directly with us at the school office. We will do our utmost to resolve your dissatisfaction and ensure that you are happy with the lessons.

Yes, students from Slovakia can use their student status in Czechia. In order to retain their student status, students must enroll in post-secondary education by the end of the calendar year following their first high school graduation exam.

Unfortunately, we no longer offer this benefit to post-secondary students due to declining attendance at our subsidized courses. However, if you want to learn another language, we are happy to support your enthusiasm! As a post-secondary student, we offer you a 40% discount on any public course in the afternoon or evening.
