Entry requirements

For foreign or overseas Korean applicants enrolled in or graduated from high school. Submit the online form, photograph, passport, current school graduation/enrolment evidence and residence-card copy where applicable. Scans are submitted for screening, with originals possible on request. Registration requires document review and confirmed payment, not the form alone. The short-course guide states that ELC does not provide documents required for a visa application; confirm that you can enter and stay lawfully for the course before booking travel. Intensive-course D-4 support does not carry over to this format. Health/injury insurance covering Korea is recommended in the document list. Placement, attendance and assessment rules apply.

Course fees

The published short-course rate labelled “from 2026 Winter (2027.02~)” is KRW 950,000 tuition per 60-hour course, plus KRW 120,000 application fee for new students. The January–February 2027 course starts on 21 January despite that February fee label; confirm its applicable rate with ELC. The stated rates are based on June 2026 and may change. Textbooks are separate; confirm the current amount and your new or returning category before payment. The application fee is non-refundable. Short-course tuition refunds use elapsed class hours, including the day the cancellation request is registered, with overseas remittance charges payable by the applicant; ask ELC for the case-specific amount.

Intake

The next listed short course runs 21 January–12 February 2027, labelled Winter 2026 (February 2027). New-student documents are accepted 5 October 2026–4 January 2027, with tuition due 4 January and online speaking placement on 13 January. The March 2027 course runs 3–23 March: documents 4 November 2026–5 February 2027, payment due 5 February and placement 17 February. Later April, summer and autumn sessions are also listed. Registration may close early; confirm availability, exact cutoff and the January course’s fee-period ambiguity with ELC.
