3- Semester Professional Qualification
Distance Learning format only available
Start September
The purpose of the professional qualification is to establish and deepen knowledge and skills in the pedagogical, psychological, and methodological aspects of teaching and learning; and to use newly-gained knowledge and skills effectively in the teaching process.
This life-long learning programme is taught in Czech and accredited by the Czech Ministry of Education as part of the Further Education of Teachers framework (DVPP) to provide the minimum qualification for teaching English as a foreign language in the Czech school system.
40 hours face-to-face, 64 hours distance learning in the Digital Campus. You will study:
I like how effective distance learning is. It is quite demanding - managing all tasks on time, self-study, etc., but the teachers are very helpful and available to advise you. I also like that they use a lot of practical examples when training us. In general the teachers are of a very high calibre.
I definitely do not regret studying for my professional qualification at PCU. I had 16 years of work as a Personnel Manager, and I am now preparing for a change in my career when I graduate. The learning platforms for online study are user-friendly with all the necessary materials available. In general, like any studies, I have the biggest problem juggling work, family and studies, however, I have really enjoyed studying the programme, especially Pedagogy and Linguo-didactics. "
Jitka Jarůšková, current student
