Investing in education is the best decision you can make in your life. It doesn’t matter whether you are 13 or 60 years old – our natural need is and will always be to learn new things. Modern times also contribute to this, as new technologies provide innovative teaching methods and opportunities to learn effectively. What matters is being patient, working on improvement, and staying motivated. Start with easier tasks and gradually increase the difficulty. Your learning should also be an enjoyable experience, not an obligation, as the famous Czech pedagogue and philosopher Jan Amos Komenský said: “Learning through play.”

In recent years, especially due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching has expanded into the online space. Since then, learning foreign languages has become more accessible than ever before. Of course, this method of learning does not suit everyone, but it also has its advantages such as the personal approach of the teacher to the student, individual learning pace, flexibility, immediate feedback, and suitable tools for teaching according to the student’s type. At Czeska Strefa we currently teach five foreign languages either on site in Krakow or online.

In business or working in a corporation, nothing is more important than a good knowledge of English. That alone is not enough – what matters is how you say and describe things. Often we assume that we are using the right words, so the other person must understand us. The truth is, however, that the world is full of people, and sometimes what is clear to a Czech may not be clear to an Indian or a German, they will simply need better context to understand the problem more effectively. With us, you will not only learn practical vocabulary from across the entire supply chain, such as sales, purchasing, finance, logistics, quality, customer service, or IT, but you will also learn how to express and describe complex issues in a way that the other party truly understands.

Excel has become a versatile tool, and lately, more and more companies are requiring proficiency in it. It is no longer used just for entering data into tables and creating simple charts, as we learned in elementary school, but can be fully utilized to analyze large databases across various sectors. Moreover, thanks to its numerous functions, we can manipulate data and extract the information we need. However, simply collecting data is not enough if we cannot present and interpret it correctly. This is exactly what we focus on in our Excel courses, along with data visualization using PivotTables and charts, which play a key role in the program.

Sometimes it is difficult to understand the material at university from lectures if the teacher speaks in academic language and uses only phrases and theory from books instead of practical life examples. That is why we launched an initiative and prepared three finance subjects with which we can help you: Statistics and Microeconomics, where we will show you, based on practical examples, how these analytical subjects work, and Basics of Finance and Accounting, where we connect finance – the theoretical part (banking system, financial markets and instruments, national economy, tax system) – with accounting – the practical part (double-entry bookkeeping – general ledger, profit and loss statement, balance sheet, accounting processes, tax legislation).
