Seven years focused solely on medical admissions
NaMED was founded by doctors who went through preparation and medical-school admissions in Czechia themselves and continue to work in clinical practice. For seven years, the team has focused only on medical faculties rather than splitting the programme across economics, law or technical fields.
The programme can be measured in concrete numbers:
| 7+ years | preparing students only for medical faculties |
|---|---|
| 85% | admissions success rate |
| 1,350+ hours | of language and subject preparation in the programme |
| Hundreds of students | complete the preparation each year |
Over those years, the team has developed a separate preparation route for each faculty, from the 1. LF UK test and the Pilsen format to oral stages and exams with negative marking.
Czech is not a barrier, it is a saving
Studying medicine in Czech at a public university is free, for international students on the same terms as for Czech ones. The same degree in English is paid: 24,250 EUR per year at 1. LF UK, CZK 380,000 in Brno, 12,000 EUR in Ostrava.
Six years of the English-taught programme at 1. LF UK cost around 145,000 EUR. The NaMED annual course costs 1,850 EUR, which is less than a single month of paid study. After that the student pays no tuition for six years.
So we do not talk anyone into learning Czech. We show what it costs the other way round.
What the system is made of
Getting into medicine is not one exam but five parallel tasks. Run them one after another and they collide into a single week in spring.
| Subjects | biology, chemistry and physics systematically, with Czech terminology from the first months |
|---|---|
| Language | adapted Czech, academic language and medical vocabulary |
| Documents | recognition of the school certificate, translations, applications and each faculty's deadlines |
| Mock exams | full timed papers and a review of recurring mistakes |
| Relocation | visa, housing, insurance and the first steps in Prague |
Exam formats differ between the eight faculties more than people expect. The number of questions varies two and a half times over, and that is the first thing that changes a study plan.
The people teaching have done it themselves
NaMED lecturers are senior medical students and doctors. Not school biology tutors, but people who sat the same entrance test and now study or work in the field.
The difference is practical. A lecturer knows which topics a given faculty asks about every year, which phrasing in a question trips up an international applicant, and what to do when forty seconds are left for an answer.
Online Academy: volume instead of promises
A weekly lesson explains the topic. The test result comes from the number of questions solved between lessons, which is why the platform is a separate block in the programme.
Online Academy holds more than 8,100 exam-style questions with explanations and over 200 video lessons in biology, chemistry and physics. It is not a bonus to the course but the tool that lets a parent see the student's progress too.
The results can be watched, not just believed
The site carries interviews with graduates from 2020 to 2026. Not written testimonials, but filmed conversations with a name, a faculty and a year of admission.
- Gor, 2026: admitted to every medical faculty in Prague.
- Anya, 2026: top 30 at the Second Faculty of Medicine.
- Muso, 2024: admitted to five medical faculties.
- Mikhail, 2023: admitted to the First Faculty in six months.
- Lyubomir, 2025: admitted to pharmacy at 17.
They are worth watching precisely because every route was different. One took a year, another six months, one applied to five faculties, another to two.
Nine preparation formats and what they cost
The programme is chosen by starting level, time left before the exam, and how much support the family needs.
| Turnkey admission MAX | 5,900 EUR. Czech, subjects, small groups, documents and settling into Prague. |
|---|---|
| Turnkey admission | 5,500 EUR. Czech, biology, chemistry, physics plus documents and deadlines. |
| Annual course MAX | 2,350 EUR. Subjects in Czech, extra online lessons, regular progress checks. |
| Annual course | 1,850 EUR. Biology, chemistry and physics across the school year. |
| Six-month course | 1,199 EUR. Starts in January, priority topics and timed tests. |
| Road to C1 and interview | 999 EUR. Language, academic speech and interview preparation. |
| Pre-exam intensive | 299 EUR. One month of final revision and exam timing. |
| Tutoring | CZK 700 per hour. Targeted work on specific topics and gaps. |
| Aprobace | 2,000 EUR. For doctors holding a foreign degree. |
Prices are known in advance and do not grow during the year. Only the faculties' administrative fees for the online application and document translations stay separate.
What the degree provides
A medical qualification from Czechia may qualify for automatic recognition in the EU when the conditions of Directive 2005/36/EC are met. The graduate must still apply to the competent authority and meet local registration and language requirements. According to the Czech Statistical Office, the average monthly pay of a physician in Czechia in 2024 was CZK 124,775 including bonuses and allowances.
After the six-year Czech-taught programme, the graduate receives the MUDr. degree. Working in another EU country then requires recognition and compliance with local registration and language rules.
FAQ
Which course should I start with if the exam is a year away?
The annual course, or annual MAX if you want extra online lessons and regular progress checks. If there is no Czech at all yet, look at the turnkey formats, where language and subjects run together.
And if only six months are left?
The six-month course starting in January. It is built around priority topics and timed tests rather than covering the programme from scratch. A month before the exam there is the 299 EUR intensive.
Can I study online from my own country?
Yes. Online Academy with its 8,100+ questions and 200+ video lessons works from anywhere, and some formats run online. Only the turnkey course with Czech comes with a student visa.
Who teaches the lessons?
Senior medical students and doctors who applied as international students themselves.
What is included in the price and what is not?
The price covers the preparation, materials, mock exams and document support to the extent of the chosen format. It does not cover the faculties' administrative fees for the online application or document translations.
Do you guarantee admission?
No, and nobody honestly can. The admission success rate among our students is 85%, but the outcome depends on the starting level, the time available and the student's own work. What we answer for is the preparation system, the volume of material and the support.
