Description
The one and only Language House TEFL in Prague is one of the most popular and beloved TEFL certification companies in the world. With over 20 years in operation, many of their staff have been working for the organization for over a decade. Since its establishment, TLH has strived to create a TEFL certification school that not only includes some of the most rigorous training possible, but also all of the logistical and community support for their graduates to thrive. As of 2024, they have graduated over 3000 successful teachers from their program.
The Language House TEFL is not just a training center, but a network of staff and graduates in Prague and abroad who help and support each other years after graduation. When you sign up for The Language House TEFL, you are not just getting a TEFL certificate; you are entering into a supportive community of staff and graduates who become almost like a second family. This support includes making friends abroad, finding jobs, support with accommodation, and everything in between to aid in your success.
This is one of the more intensive courses you can find. Their website and socials are filled with pics of their trainees having fun in their new home, but make no mistake, The Language House TEFL is an extremely rigorous course. After completion, you will graduate a skilled and competent teacher. They also offer online and blended TEFL courses for those who cannot make it to Prague.
This company is great with communication. Send them an email and they always reply promptly.

The course is more informative (and more intense) than I expected. After the first week, expect long days!
Everyone on the TLH team is great. They are all very friendly, helpful and transparent. They do a really great job making the course enjoyable.
Although it is only a four-week course, they do pack a lot into it. The most important part in my opinion is the teaching practice. You are exposed to English learners of three different levels (one level each week). The lessons you prepare can be reviewed by a staff member, and then you receive feedback from an observer at the end of the lesson. You are also required to teach one-on-one lessons as part of the course.
They have a job fair during the course, which is great. They provide you with access to other positions that are available (you receive access after graduating) through an online group, which I personally found more useful; it’s also how I found work fairly quickly.
As for the visa process, that is out of the school’s hands, but they do connect you with a service (you pay separately for it) that is 100% worth it.
