After five years of practice the authorization test can be performed which entitles the graduate to an independent business (design work and construction and demolition of buildings) or to perform management functions in construction companies or organizations in the project. The school maintains professional contacts with leading construction companies (Metrostav Ltd., KB-Blok Ltd., Xella CZ Ltd., Velux Ltd., Knauf Ltd. and others). Firms organize competitions for the best projects of houses or civil construction and professionally and financially support the educational activities of the school. School graduates can continue their studies at college, especially at the Faculty of Architecture and Engineering. Last school year 70% of total graduates continued at universities.

In the field of teaching, the school has had a tradition lasting for 181 years. School was located in the building in Zborovská street in Prague 5 from 1945 to 1993. In September 1993 the school moved into a new building in Prague 4 Pankrác and was given the honorary name of the famous and prominent architect Josef Gočár who graduated from this school in 1902. It was and is a school that gives graduates a good working foundation.

The task of school and its teaching staff is to educate graduates with both professional and general view. We try to complete the preparation of our students so they are able to solve tasks independently, responsibly, know how to use the latest technology and to communicate in at least one world language.

The school is located in a calm quiet environment with good conditions for learning and leisure activities. Each class has its own home classroom. Modern computer technology classrooms, well equipped training labs, multimedia classrooms and laboratories, and extremely good facilities for sport (two gyms, climbing wall, outdoor playground) create perfect conditions for pupils to study. Students can use the internet on all school computers and or on their own laptop through a wireless network that covers the school area. The school owns a cottage in the mountains near Velka Upa - Pec pod Snezkou, which is used for organising team building courses for new students, ski courses and school practical training during second grades. Our school canteen offers a choice of three meals and together with a snack bar with refreshments and vending machines provide students with healthy diet.
