OPTIONS DURING THE COURSE
The team in Prague can arrange private rooms in furnished apartments, hostels/hotels, shared rooms and the option of private apartments. We are happy to offer you this service and take the stress out of finding your own place for the course, however, you are more than welcome to secure housing on your own via Airbnb or any other similar sites.
For those staying with us, we generally organise housing about 8 weeks before the start of a course. Below, you will find a list of our housing options and prices.
If you would prefer to find your own housing, companies like Airbnb and Flatio.com make it very easy to book something. The benefit of booking your own place is that you have a lot more options to choose from and more negotiating power. So, if you are coming with friends, a significant other, or if you would simply like your own spot, booking your accommodation is not a bad idea. If you are planning on going this route, please let us know in advance. We are happy to offer you advice on picking a place.
The apartments contain everything you need and include WiFi, a kitchen, a washing machine (if not in the apartment then onsite) and bedding. There will be a staff member, or a recent graduate meet you at your apartment to show you around. Most of the apartments are located about 15-20 minutes away from the school.
Apartments and individual rooms differ from each other, but all of our housing options are usually much less expensive than booking your own place. The cost of the housing also includes car service from the airport, cleaning costs before your arrival, and a meetup with either the property manager or a staff member.
Housing Costs
Private Rooms in Furnished Apartments $600-$700
Private Flat 1 person (limited) $800-$900

If you decide on getting your own place, it’s wise to not book anything longer than 1 month if you plan on living and teaching in the Czech Republic. For your visa, you will need to secure long-term housing during the course. If you book something longer than a month, this could interfere with the visa process.

You’ll be helped by your trainers at the TEFL centre to secure your long term accommodation during the course, ready for when you’re teaching English in Czech Republic.
