Prague, Czech Republic

Located in the heart of Europe, 1300 years of Czech history has resulted in a stunning nation of magnificent architecture, magical bridges, gold-tipped towers and over 2,000 preserved castles and châteaux's. You'll find Prague a modern European capital full of energy, music, and art.

If you are seeking TEFL employment after your TESOL/TEFL course in Prague, then jobs for the qualified TEFL teachers are abundant. Since the fall of communism the requirement for English language instructors has been massive and the demand continues in state schools, private language schools and universities nationwide. Whether teaching in the modern European metropolis of Prague or one of the many character rich villages or spa towns you are guaranteed a unique and memorable experience.

For those using Prague to start a European adventure, you will find that the neighbouring countries of Poland and Hungary have an equally high demand for TEFL teachers.

The City

The capital city of Prague is a place of contrasts: Serene green isles in the river and peaceful parks draping the citys' seven hills are just steps away from the architectural treasures and bustling street life of the city centre.

Built on the banks of the river Vitara a network of 14 large bridges span the water. Declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1992 no other European capital's architecture is so completely unspoiled by natural disaster or mans conflict.

Whilst you will be here primarily to study and develop into a TEFL teacher many students are interested in Prague by night.

Modern day Prague boasts new galleries, cafes and clubs. Karlovy Lazne, near Charles Bridge, the largest Club in Central Europe, is living proof of how Prague has changed into a truly modern European city. Whatever you are into our student coordinator will introduce you to the most interesting clubs, bars and activities the city has to offer.

From the moment you arrive in the fabulous city of Prague, we will put all of our efforts into making your stay rewarding and enjoyable. Each course begins with a welcome dinner and you will be given a walking tour to introduce you to all of the important spots around Prague's centre. Throughout your stay and studies with INTESOL Prague we will be on hand to provide you with all the assistance and information you require.
