JSEM V KURZU PROGRAMME · MPSV
The programme run by the Czech Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MPSV) and the Labour Office supports digital education with a contribution of up to CZK 35,000. Choose a practical course in artificial intelligence, data analysis or programming and find out how to apply online.
Jsem v kurzu (“I’m in a course”) is a programme of the Czech Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and the Labour Office of the Czech Republic that supports digital education. You choose a course and a specific date in the official catalogue, submit the application online and, once approved, pay your co-payment. The Labour Office sends the approved contribution directly to the training provider.
The new conditions of the DIGIkurzy project apply from 1 July 2026. According to the MPSV, applications will open in the second half of 2026; the exact date has not yet been published. We are registering our courses gradually and you can find their current status below.
In the standard case the Labour Office pays 76.73 % of the course price and you pay 23.27 %. The total contribution is capped at CZK 35,000 per 3 calendar years; the exact amount is always set by the Labour Office in its Confirmation, based on your remaining limit and whether the conditions are met. The standard calculation for each of our courses is shown in the course list below.
Contribution from the Labour Office, paid directly to the training provider for your course.
Total limit for one or more courses within 3 calendar years from the start of the first course. The Labour Office assesses each application individually; support is usually granted once, and a further course is allowed only in justified cases.
For low-income groups the Labour Office may cover the full price of the course.
For each course you can see its current registration status and an indicative standard calculation assuming a fully available limit. The exact amount of the contribution is always set by the Labour Office in its Confirmation. If a course is still waiting to be listed, leave us your e-mail and we will let you know as soon as you can apply.

* The standard calculation assumes a contribution of 76.73 % of the price. The total limit is CZK 35,000 per 3 calendar years. The actual amount may be lower depending on your remaining limit or whether the conditions are met.
The programme is not only for the unemployed. It can be used by employees, freelancers, parents on parental leave, students and people without a job.
The basic condition is registration with the Labour Office as a job seeker or job applicant. If you are not registered, you apply for registration together with your course application. You must also meet the other programme conditions listed below.
The whole process can be handled online. This is how it works, from choosing a course to the payment of the contribution:
Take a look at the list of our courses in the programme. You will find the course in the Labour Office catalogue (Database of Retraining and Further Education) under the same name as on our site, always with a specific date. A date can be published in the catalogue no earlier than 90 days before it starts. You must submit your application no later than 30 days before the course starts.
On mpsv.gov.cz/jsem-v-kurzu choose "Přihlášení moje kurzy" (Login – my courses). You verify your identity with the Czech Citizen Identity (bank identity, eObčanka, NIA ID…) or your personal data box (datová schránka). If you are not yet registered with the Labour Office, you register as a job seeker in a single step together with your application – you do not have to be unemployed and you do not need to go anywhere in person.
Click "Přihlásit" (Apply) next to the chosen date and fill in the application. An important part of the application is the justification of how the course will support your employability. Take care with it – the Labour Office assesses your application based on it. If you are not registered, you also choose a Labour Office contact office (preferably the one closest to your home). You submit the application only via the portal – there is no need to register with us separately.
Your application is first reviewed by us as the training provider and then by the Labour Office. You receive an e‑mail notification about every step and can also see everything in the "Přihlášení moje kurzy" section. Once approved, the Labour Office sends you a Confirmation with the exact amount of the contribution and your co-payment. If rejected, you receive a statement with the reasons.
After approval we issue a proforma invoice in your name for the difference between the course price and the exact contribution stated in the Confirmation. With a fully available limit this is normally 23.27 % of the price. You must pay it no later than one calendar day before the first day of teaching, from your own funds: from an account in your name, from the account of a close person to which you have signing rights (confirmed by a sworn statement), or in cash at our office against a receipt.
Attend the live classes – to receive the contribution you must complete at least 80 % of the hours (and at least 40 hours) and pass any final knowledge assessment if the course card requires one. No later than on the last day of the course, send us confirmation of payment of the proforma invoice from your online banking.
He will gladly help you with the Jsem v kurzu programme – from choosing a course and registering on the portal to submitting the application and providing the documents. No obligation, free of charge.

The programme has several fixed deadlines. Here they are in one place – from the course being published in the catalogue to the payment of the contribution.
The MPSV opens applications for digital education courses in the second half of 2026. Until then, join the waitlist.
A date appears in the catalogue no earlier than 90 days before it starts and disappears 30 days before. Submit your application no later than 30 days before the course starts.
The Labour Office assesses the application individually. It sends you the result by e‑mail and shows it in the "Přihlášení moje kurzy" section. There is no legal entitlement to the contribution.
You pay the proforma invoice for the co-payment according to the Labour Office Confirmation no later than one calendar day before the first day of teaching. With a fully available limit this is normally 23.27 % of the price. The same deadline applies to cancelling the application.
No later than a week before the start you receive a binding schedule from us: days, times and the link to the online classes.
No later than on the day the course ends you provide us with confirmation of payment of the co-payment from your online banking (and a sworn statement if you paid from a close person's account).
Within 30 calendar days after the end of the course we submit the final invoice and mandatory documents. Any retake of the knowledge assessment can take place within the same period. The contribution is then payable within 30 working days of complete documentation being provided.
The contribution limit is counted over 3 calendar years from the start of the first course and may cover one or more courses. However, the Labour Office assesses each application separately; the MPSV states that support is usually granted once and a further course is allowed only in justified cases.
The deadlines are based on the current programme conditions (Conditions for the provision of a contribution towards a digital education course, effective from 1 July 2026). Before submitting an application, please verify them on the Jsem v kurzu portal.
The rules are set by the MPSV and the Labour Office and are the same for all training providers. We have summarised the essentials – the full text can be found in the documents below.
We only register courses in the programme that comply with the MPSV rules for digital education courses.

No. The programme is for employees, freelancers, parents on parental leave, students and people without a job. The only condition is registration with the Labour Office as a job seeker – this is created automatically when you submit the application, with nothing else to arrange. In the application you can also choose to be removed from the register after the course ends.
If you have the full limit available and the Labour Office approves the standard contribution, your co-payment is 23.27 % of the course price and the Labour Office pays 76.73 % directly to us. Examples: for a course priced at CZK 37,900 the Labour Office pays CZK 29,081 and you pay CZK 8,819; for a course priced at CZK 41,900 the Labour Office pays CZK 32,150 and you pay CZK 9,750.
The exact amount is always set by the Labour Office in its Confirmation. It may be lower due to earlier use of the limit or proportional reduction. The cap is CZK 35,000 per person per 3 calendar years; for low-income groups as defined by the MPSV the Labour Office may cover 100 % of the course price.
The MPSV opens applications for digital education courses in the second half of 2026. The course must also be listed in the Labour Office catalogue – we have registered our courses and are waiting for them to be listed. You then submit the application no later than 30 days before the start date.
Don't want to keep checking? Join the waitlist and we will get in touch as soon as you can apply for the contribution.
No. You must pay the co-payment from your own funds – from an account in your name, from the account of a close person to which you have signing rights (confirmed by a sworn statement), or in cash at our office. The proforma invoice is always in your name. The Labour Office will not accept a payment from an employer, a company or a foundation and will not grant the contribution. We are also not allowed to waive or discount the co-payment – it is a rule of the programme.
To receive the contribution you must complete at least 80 % of the live teaching hours (and at least 40 hours) and pass any knowledge assessment. If you fail to meet the conditions by your own decision, the Labour Office will not grant the contribution and you pay the full price of the course yourself.
Exceptions may apply for serious reasons under the Employment Act (illness, caring for a close person, starting a job in the case of job applicants…). You must document them in writing to the Labour Office without undue delay. A proportional contribution can be granted only if the sum of hours completed and documented absence for serious reasons reaches at least 80 % of the course; we refund you the corresponding part of the co-payment for the part not completed.
The rules allow the limit to cover one or more courses: within 3 calendar years from the start of the first course the Labour Office may grant a total of no more than CZK 35,000, and your co-payment does not count towards the limit. However, this is not an automatic entitlement to multiple grants. The Labour Office assesses each application individually and the MPSV states that support is usually granted once; a further course is allowed only in justified cases.
From 1 July 2026 new conditions of the DIGIkurzy project, financed from the Employment Plus Operational Programme, are in effect: a contribution of up to CZK 35,000 and a standard co-payment of 23.27 % (previously CZK 50,000 and 18 %). The limit is counted over 3 calendar years from the start of the first course. To be sure how earlier use is assessed, please check with the Labour Office or on the Jsem v kurzu portal.
You receive an e‑mail notification about every step (confirmation by the training provider, approval or rejection by the Labour Office). You can also find everything on the Jsem v kurzu portal in the "Přihlášení moje kurzy" section. There you can also cancel the application using the "Zrušit přihlášku na kurz" (Cancel course application) button – no later than one calendar day before the course starts.
If the course card requires a knowledge assessment, you can retake it within 30 calendar days of the end of the course. If you do not pass even the retake (and there are no serious reasons), the Labour Office will not grant the contribution and you pay the balance for the course. In our courses we prepare you for the assessment during the classes – it is not an exam "out of nowhere".
Yes. After successful completion we issue a certificate of course completion in accordance with the programme rules – with the course name, number of hours, topics covered and project details. It looks good on your CV and LinkedIn.
You always submit the application yourself on the Jsem v kurzu portal – the training provider cannot submit it for you. But we are happy to help you choose a course, word the justification and clarify anything in the application that is unclear. Write to info@beeit.cz or call +420 732 813 373.
No. Retraining (arranged or chosen) is a different Labour Office instrument with its own rules, accreditation and a limit of up to CZK 50,000. We register our courses as digital education courses with a contribution of up to CZK 35,000 and a standard co-payment of 23.27 % with a fully available limit. Applications for digital education courses are submitted online.
The full rules can be found in the MPSV documents "Poučení pro zájemce o kurz digitálního vzdělávání" (Information for applicants) and "Podmínky poskytnutí příspěvku na úhradu kurzu digitálního vzdělávání" (Conditions for the contribution; effective from 1 July 2026) – available for download on the Jsem v kurzu portal (in Czech). The specific amount of the contribution, the co-payment and other conditions are governed by the current MPSV rules; please verify them before submitting an application.
