Due to the demand for English teachers, since before the fall of the Iron Curtain, Prague has recruited ESL teachers well as TEFL program participants for many years. The majority of TEFL courses in Prague provide students with the opportunity to take part in an 120-hour accredited program, while building lifelong friendships and exploring all that Prague has to offer.
TEFL courses in the Czech Republic are also available in Brno and other smaller cities, where the demand for TEFL certified English teachers is just as high. Taking TEFL courses in Brno can be an especially dynamic experience for teachers, as the city is the historic center of the country, so daily life will incorporate sites that date back to the 11th century as well as the opportunity to visit the Gothic cathedral of St. Peter and Paul.
Further north and closer to the Polish border, teachers may also consider calling Liberec home, the fifth largest city in the Czech Republic, which is affectionately known as the "Manchester of Bohemia" due its history within the textile industry. TEFL students can take a break from course training here by visiting the The North Bohemian Museum, which is one of the oldest and most well-known museums for natural sciences, arts, and crafts in the Czech Republic.
Courses tend to either be the four week, full-time curriculum, or the ten to twelve week part-time courses. Most TEFL programs abroad are an intensive four weeks in duration, with a total of 120 classroom hours. TEFL and TESOL certificates require a minimum of 120 hours in almost every program worldwide. The course work is more rigorous than the equivalent Latin American and Asian English teaching training courses. Teachers will find that there is an emphasis on developing lesson plans and actual teaching practice. Many TEFL programs in the Czech Republic will combine mornings of classroom instruction with afternoons of practical teaching experiences.
While not all TEFL programs require students to have a bachelor’s degree, the minimum age to enroll is almost always 18 and students must be either native English speakers or have a high level of English language proficiency to participate. Another factor to keep in mind, TEFL certified teachers without degrees will be limited in their employment choices, particularly in Asia and the Middle East, so it is advisable to either have or be working toward this academic benchmark prior to or during TEFL courses in the Czech Republic.
Earning a TEFL certification in the Czech Republic will often include the opportunity to avail job placement services upon certification, which will help new teachers find jobs teaching in the Czech Republic and abroad.
Many schools include lifetime job assistance as well as “much needed for survival” Czech language classes.
TEFL and TESOL courses in in the Czech Republic range from around 1,000 Euros to 3,000 Euros, depending on inclusions and contract hours. Most TEFL programs will include housing in course fees. Keep in mind that a shared room in a flat is the most affordable option, with private rooms and private apartments generally being more costly. Homestays are offered by some schools but are limited to season and availability. Monthly housing expenses can easily be under $450.
When you are feeling hungry after a long day of teaching English in the Czech Republic you can enjoy hearty Czech dishes, like roast pork with dumplings and cabbage, or fried cheese with chips or potatoes, which will help to keep your appetite inspired and your brain focused!
In general, European TEFL certificates are more rigorous academically, as such some schools may have a greater respect for them when you begin searching for an ESL teaching job abroad.
Prague specifically is renowned as an incredible TEFL training center.
Get answers to the questions travelers ask most
You basically need to fulfill qualification and legal requirements to teach English in the Czech Republic. Among the most important are a university degree, a TEFL certificate, a teacher's license, and an Employee Card.
Around 96% of the population speaks Czech. Other languages widely spoken include Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Slovak, and even Vietnamese. This means high demand for English teachers, with many Czechs eager to improve their English language skills.
You can complete a TEFL course online or in person before traveling. But if you want to get ahead of the competition and have better chances of landing your desired job, earn your TEFL certification in the Czech Republic.
The average monthly pay for ESL teachers in the Czech Republic can be anywhere between $800 and $1,500. This depends on factors like the type of school, location, teacher qualifications, and previous experience.

Program: 120-Hour Accredited TEFL Certification with Live Support
I had no idea programs like this existed, and I am glad that, after doing research, I found TEFL Pro. They are amazing! They provide everything you will need to learn in videos and activities. They are always there to help if you need it, and you write posts when completing a module. I have already recommended my friends back in California to this program. Most of them are excited or say that it feels "too good to be true," which I thought the same thing until now. TEFL Pro gives you everything you need and will help you even after completing the program. :)
Program: 120-Hour Accredited TEFL Certification with Live Support
I have found this course useful for making this very daunting transition to teaching English overseas into something less daunting. I feel much more aware of my blind spots walking into a TEFL interview or first job position, and feel like the course provides a solid foundation for lesson planning and classroom management. I look forward to receiving the placement assistance that is offered now that I am at the end. As a working adult with my own business, I found the flexibility to be unmatched by any other product yet still providing the solid foundation I was looking for. Thank you TEFLPros!
Program: 120-Hour TEFL Certification – Learn Anywhere with our App
The 120-Hour TEFL Certification was an excellent learning experience. The course was well-structured, informative, and comprehensive, covering important areas of teaching English as a foreign language. I particularly appreciated the practical strategies, clear explanations, and useful resources that can be applied in real classroom settings. The course helped strengthen my understanding of lesson planning, classroom management, teaching methodologies, and effective ways to engage learners with different needs and abilities. I found the flexibility of the course especially helpful, allowing me to work through the material at my own pace while still gaining substantial knowledge and practical skills. Overall, this certification has added value to my professional development and increased my confidence as an educator. I would definitely recommend the 120-Hour TEFL Certification to anyone interested in teaching English or expanding their teaching qualifications.

I experienced an eye-opening job coaching session with Emos. The information that he provided on the job opportunities that are available in various countries, and his personal experiences, were really helpful. I have started my teaching journey already and I look forward to a more rewarding teaching career. Thanks, Emos & Premier TEFL!

Program: 180-Hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma – Top Rated & 100% Online
As an experienced teacher, I found my TEFL Institute journey both rewarding and enriching. The course was well structured, engaging, and practical, offering fresh ideas and strategies that have enhanced my teaching practice. The webinars and tutorials were a standout feature, providing valuable insights, practical techniques, and excellent support throughout the course. A special thank you to Laura for her encouragement, and unwavering support, which made a real difference to my learning experience. I would also like to thank Olivia for the wonderful opportunity to lend my voice to the course. I highly recommend TEFL Institute to both aspiring and experienced teachers looking to develop their skills through a supportive, professional, and high-quality learning experience.
Program: World's Only: 300-Hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma Courses
Premier TEFL offers a solid 300-hr course and the lessons are very educational—I went from knowing hardly anything about teaching language to feeling like I could actually organize English lessons someday. And I did indeed land a job while I was still working on my TEFL certificate to teach Spanish, because some of the principles of teaching English generalize to teaching other languages. One thing that really makes this TEFL program stand out is the amount of support you get. Anytime you have questions or doubts, you can e-mail the staff and they are very responsive. The tutors, Anya and Laura, are available once a week for a live Zoom session, but you can e-mail them anytime and they will answer all your questions, and if they don't have an answer, they will direct you to another staff member who does. The support staff, like Olivia and Lisa, are also very helpful for your course needs and even check in to see how you're doing. Overall, I was very pleased with the value of this course and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning how to teach English.

The study materials were straight to the point, rich in content and easy to grasp. The support staff member, Laura, responded to messages promptly. My practical course sessions with Michelle Benson gave me the kind of experience and heads up that I needed to improve my one-on-one and whole-class teaching skills. It has been a very rewarding journey for me.

Program: Get That Glow-Up: Recognised, Highly-Respected TEFL Diploma!
My experience with the TEFL Institute of Ireland so far has been excellent. From enrollment and access to the course materials, to having a tutor available as well as scheduled check-ins, the support and overall offering have been fantastic and of an exceptionally high quality. I have also had a few queries, and the customer support from Lisa Flynn has been exemplary, helping to resolve my issues quickly so I could continue enjoying the course. If you are considering taking an online TEFL course, I cannot recommend the TEFL Institute of Ireland highly enough.
Program: 120-Hour TEFL Certification – Learn Anywhere with our App
I have not been there in person, but I did sign up for their online course. Everything about it feels professional, and the sessions come across as really interactive. The language they use is simple and easy to follow. It was honestly the right fit for me. Right after I registered, Annelies emailed to welcome me, and it instantly put me at ease. They also made it clear that they will be guiding me throughout the course and that they will be there whenever I need help.
Program: 120-Hour TEFL Certification – Learn Anywhere with our App
I have just finished the 120 hour TEFL course and I really loved it. Everything is explained so clearly in the modules, and the material is packed with useful information while still feeling very manageable, so progressing through it was straightforward. I would definitely recommend it to other people, and I cannot wait to put what I have learned here to use in the future.
Program: Fast-Track Your Future with the 120-Hour Accredited Course
I ordered a Hard Copy certificate and it took longer than expected to get sent out. I could not get through to anyone on the phone or by email, which I am putting down to COVID Lockdown and the office being closed. As soon as I used the Chat, Kate was very helpful and told me the status of my order straight away. I have given 4 stars purely because contacting them by phone and email was so hard, but the chat feature is excellent, so try that first if you need help.
Program: 120-Hour TEFL Certification – Learn Anywhere with our App
Taking this course has made me feel confident enough to start applying for TEFL roles overseas. I found the platform really straightforward to navigate and it was packed with useful resources, and the modules were informative, clearly well researched, and backed up with detailed bibliographies so I could keep exploring topics on my own. I would absolutely recommend this company.
Program: Fast-Track Your Future with the 120-Hour Accredited Course
I’ve just finished the 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies Course and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone thinking about signing up. Everything was clearly structured, well planned, and really straightforward to follow. I was a bit anxious at the beginning, but Kate had me, and everyone else on the course, feeling comfortable almost straight away. We started with a few warmers so we could get to know each other, and I honestly think that made it easier for everyone to relax and fully take part in every part of the course. Kate stayed professional throughout, but she also made sure it was enjoyable and never too heavy, so it didn’t feel like being overloaded with information you could not keep up with. I genuinely can’t rate this course highly enough for anyone interested, it is excellent and completely worth doing.

My experience with TELF, the online language school, was fantastic. Everything they shared was really helpful, easy to follow, and explained in a way that made sense right away. Huge thanks to advisor Killian Bukulin for walking me through every program, taking the time to respond to my 1000 questions, and staying so friendly the whole way through. I would absolutely recommend TELF to anyone who wants to learn not only how to teach english, but also the methods behind teaching any new language.
Program: Fast-Track Your Future with the 120-Hour Accredited Course
I genuinely cannot recommend the Level 5 Advanced Diploma enough. Everything is explained in a clear, bite sized format, so it is easy to take your time and work through it at whatever pace suits you. On top of that, you come away with loads of resources that you can keep for future lessons or use to dig deeper when you are studying and preparing. I would also suggest the 30 Hour Teaching English Online, the 30 Hour Teaching Young Learners, the 30 Hour Teaching Advanced Grammar, and the 10 Hour Advanced Certificate in TEFL Classroom Methodologies courses. In the Classroom Methodologies course, Michelle Benson is so kind and straightforward that you finish it feeling like you are genuinely ready to walk into a real classroom. Altogether, these courses have left me feeling fully prepared to teach English to actual students.
Program: Fast-Track Your Future with the 120-Hour Accredited Course
Hi everyone! Since July, I have completed my third TELF Institute course, which were the 180 hours, TELF for Teaching Business English and Teaching English for Exams. I honestly cannot recommend these TELF courses enough. I found them demanding, yet still really fun to work through. Everything is presented in a way that makes sense, and the quizzes and assessments help the content actually stick. Even though I already teach foreign languages, I have taken so much from these courses and now I feel properly prepared for what is next, because I am hoping to teach in Spain or South America. The TELF courses have given me a great deal. If you are thinking about doing one, just do it. You will not regret it! Thanks TELF Institute, Richard

Super useful and packed with info. At the start, Leo gave me really solid direction on picking the course that suited me best, and Shauna was great when I needed help arranging an extension. Any time something came up, the customer support team got back to me fast and were genuinely kind about helping. I would definitely recommend.
Program: Fast-Track Your Future with the 120-Hour Accredited Course
I had a great time doing the 120 hour TEFL course. Everything is set up in a clear way, and each module breaks things down so it is easy to understand. I would definitely suggest it to anyone who is just getting started with a career in teaching English.
Program: Fast-Track Your Future with the 120-Hour Accredited Course
Everything in the course was presented clearly, and the layout made it simple to work through. I liked that it combined videos, audio recordings, and reading sections rather than relying on just one format. In each module, they also pointed to extra resources and suggested further reading if you wanted to go beyond the basics. All in all, I would recommend doing the 120 hour TEFL course with this company.
Program: 120-Hour TEFL Certification – Learn Anywhere with our App
I really enjoyed taking the 120 Hour Premier TEFL Course. I would strongly recommend it to anyone starting out on their TEFL journey. You can work through the material in real depth at a pace that suits you, and it feels comfortable the whole way through. It is great value for money, and the learning experience is relaxed throughout.
