Yes. The Beginner 1 class is designed for complete beginners: you learn the Hangeul alphabet, pronunciation, greetings and how to introduce yourself. If you have already studied some Korean on your own, we recommend taking a level test so you can be placed at the right stage.
The time needed depends on your starting level, your target TOPIK level and how much time you can study. After your level test, an adviser will estimate your pathway and expected timeframe; TOPIK test dates are announced by the exam organiser.
Korean language requirements depend on each recruitment round and are set by the receiving side; KPV publishes the specific requirements on the programme page once official documents are available. If you are interested, you can start with a beginner Korean class and book a level test for advice on your pathway.
Start with the Korean Beginner 1 class (conversation – TOPIK foundation). Before being placed in a class, you can take a level test so that KPV can advise you on a pathway that suits your study-abroad or employment goals.
E-8 is South Korea’s seasonal work visa, which allows foreign workers to do seasonal work in a receiving locality under a contract. Eligibility requirements (age, health, language, documents) are set by the receiving side for each round and are published by KPV on the programme page once official documents are available.
Each programme has its own cost table on the programme page: item name, amount, when it is payable and whether it is refundable. KPV does not collect any payment outside the published table; every payment is covered by a contract and a receipt.
Leave your details and a KPV adviser will call you back and suggest a South Korea pathway that suits your circumstances.
