The intensive English course is a full-time daily program designed primarily for recent high school graduates. Over the course of one academic year, students fully immerse themselves in English – every day, for several hours, in small groups and under the guidance of experienced teachers.
The teaching style is practical, dynamic, and focused on real-life situations, helping students learn the language as it is actually used. It’s not just about textbooks – we explore topics that interest students and help them improve both their language skills and confidence.
This course is more than just improving your English. Our goal is to help students get into their dream universities in the Czech Republic or abroad, or to prepare for working abroad. That’s why our courses are designed to help students successfully pass a prestigious Cambridge English certificate exam by the end of the year – opening up new opportunities.
By enrolling in the intensive English course at ILC and submitting your high school diploma, you automatically gain official student status. This brings a number of benefits, including tax advantages and paid health and social insurance.
As a student, you’re entitled to an ISIC card, which gives you discounts on public transport, travel, food, cinema, theatre, and more… in short, being a student pays off.
You’ll gain strong language confidence because English will become part of your daily routine. Practically every day, you’ll be training, speaking, and using the language intensively.
We’ll help you get there. Daily contact with English and constant conversation practice will naturally teach you to respond without overthinking. You’ll break down language barriers, stop translating in your head, and start speaking with confidence – like English is your first language.
You’ll use English at work, at university, and when traveling. It’s the global language – and with us, you’ll always stay one step ahead. We’ll teach you how to understand, respond, and feel confident in every situation.
The program focuses on the intensive development of all language skills – speaking, listening, reading and writing. Classes take place every weekday morning from 9:30 to 12:45, with a break between 11:00 and 11:15, and place strong emphasis on the practical use of language during lessons.
Due to this schedule, students have plenty of time to prepare for university, take on part-time jobs, or engage in other activities based on their interests.
Students are placed into balanced groups according to their language level based on an entry test. We use a communicative teaching method that puts the student in the spotlight. Lessons follow CEFR standards, use British textbooks, and are led by CELTA-certified instructors.
The program also includes continuous progress assessment and the opportunity to prepare for Cambridge English exams (KET, PET, FCE, CAE).

„I was very satisfied with the lessons. Our teachers came from different countries and were easy to understand. Grammar explanations finally made sense, and I was able to understand what mistakes I had been making before. Overall, I really enjoyed the classes and I’d be happy to return to your school again.
“ „ILC is the best language school I could have chosen in Brno. I attended the one-year post-secondary course, which truly helped me improve my English. Thanks to that, I was accepted to university – specifically, to study English Language and Literature at the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University. The school offers truly excellent teachers who not only teach well, but also create a very welcoming and friendly environment. I fell in love with English at ILC so much that I still attend classes at least once a week. I would truly recommend the language courses offered by ILC to my closest friends." It’s easy – just fill out the contact form and take the online placement test, and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible! Course Information
