The online course enables students to learn Czech from anywhere in the world. It is specifically designed for those who may face challenges in traveling to or staying in the Czech Republic during the course period, or whose visa has been delayed or temporarily refused but who still want to learn Czech. This version of the course offers the opportunity to save on accommodation and travel expenses, as physical presence is not required.

The course is intended for foreign students who wish to pursue higher education in the Czech Republic. No previous knowledge of Czech is needed; the course is designed for complete beginners.
