Study abroad FAQs – KPV answers
01Can I learn Korean from scratch? Where do I start?
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.
02How long do I need to study before I can sit TOPIK?
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.
03What level of Korean is required for E-8 seasonal work?
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.
04Can I study abroad if I don’t speak a foreign language yet?
You can start from zero. At the Ability assessment step, KPV identifies your current level and the language requirements of the programme you choose, then builds a study plan with milestones that fit your application timeline.
