ABOUT US

Our Company »

We started GMAT.cz to help meet the growing need in the Czech Republic for English language expertise and tests. To that end, we offer very focused, 80-hour courses designed to prepare students and professionals for international English language exams and to improve their business English skills. We provide high quality services for clients from both the business and private sectors. Our courses are taught in Prague.

Our team of professionals has developed syllabi for each course, having guided clients to 100% success for over 10 years. We achieve excellent results by limiting the class size to small groups of 1-3 students. The private or semi-private class size allows us to customize courses to the student's specific needs. It also enables us to provide individualized attention to each student.
