Ressel Academy is designed for qualified international workers who already have professional skills or experience and want to prepare for life and work in Czechia.

We help you develop practical Czech, understand the Czech workplace and prepare for interaction with potential employers.

01

Who is Ressel Academy for?

02

Do I need to speak Czech before I apply?

No. You do not need to speak Czech before joining the programme. Czech language training is an important part of the programme and is focused on everyday communication, workplace situations and terminology relevant to your profession.

The 16-week programme is the intensive core Ressel Academy pathway, combining Czech language, professional adaptation and employer readiness.

The 24-week programme includes the same 16-week core plus up to 8 additional weeks of structured employer-linked practical integration, where a suitable future employer arrangement is available.

03

What is the difference between the 16-week and 24-week programmes?

04

What is included in the programme fee?

Your programme fee includes Czech language training, professional adaptation, shared accommodation, basic learning materials and Academy support.

The extended pathway also includes continued accommodation and the additional facilities/support associated with that programme period. Meals, personal expenses and government or visa fees are not included.

During the 16-week structured core programme, participants normally complete approximately 3 hours of Czech language training and 3 hours of professional adaptation per day.

Activities may also include employer presentations, interviews, professional assessments, workplace preparation and site visits where appropriate.

05

How intensive is the programme?

06

Will Ressel Academy help me meet employers?

Yes. Employer readiness is a core part of the programme. Depending on your profession, readiness and employer availability, this may include employer presentations, interviews, qualification reviews, site visits and practical assessments.

Ressel Academy facilitates these opportunities, but employment is always decided by the employer.

Where a suitable future employer has been identified, participants in the extended pathway may take part in an Academy-organised practical integration placement. This can include workplace orientation, technical familiarisation, professional terminology, observation and supervised non-productive training.

Any employer-based activity is organised according to the participant’s legal residence and work status and does not replace the authorisation required to begin employment.

07

How does practical integration with a future employer work?

08

Does joining Ressel Academy guarantee a visa or a job?

Ressel Academy provides education, professional adaptation and employer preparation. Visa and residence decisions are made by the competent Czech authorities, and employment decisions are made by individual employers.

Our role is to help you become better prepared for the Czech workplace and the employment process..

Every participant’s timeline can be different. If you become legally authorised to begin employment earlier than expected, your transition can be coordinated with the Academy and the employer in accordance with your programme terms.

If the employment process takes longer, the extended pathway provides additional time for continued language development, professional preparation and employer-linked integration.

09

What happens if employment is ready before or after programme end?

10

How do I apply, and do I have to pay immediately?

Start by submitting the online application form. We review your professional background, programme suitability and circumstances before offering you a place.

There is no payment required simply to submit an application. If you are accepted, you will receive the programme offer, enrolment conditions and payment instructions before making a commitment.
