All sites are centrally located in Prague near public transportation.
We do not offer official academic credit however, we can issue you a letter stating the number of hours and your responsibilities and in some cases, you can take this back to your institution and seek credit.

ESAC does not have scholarships but you can look at the ESAC website for additional resources on funding. Some are pretty good.
All apartments are high quality, centrally located and fully furnished. The apartments are usually shared but one bedroom and studio units are also available for an additional fee. Each building has its own Property Manager who you will be in contact with if there are any problems with the apartment. You will contact them directly for maintenance issues. The Property Managers have full discretion over guests. If you break their apartment policy, such as violating quiet hours, having parties or causing damage to the building or the unit, they may remove you from the premises. ESAC has no control over this and you will be responsible for securing your own housing elsewhere at your cost, no refunds will be given for dismissal from the apartments.
