Entry requirements

For the specific winter 2026 notice, individual applicants must hold TOPIK Level 2 or above. The curriculum’s beginner levels do not waive that individual-entry condition; confirm whether a different application route is available to you. Ask about minimum age, schooling, nationality and residence documents, financial evidence, country-specific verification and the current application checklist. Entry and placement are separate decisions. Published weekday schedules offer morning classes from 09:00 to 13:00 or afternoon classes from 14:00 to 18:00; beginners receive afternoon priority. Confirm your allocation, attendance, teaching location and any optional activity charges. The published 200 hours use class-hour terminology, with fifty-minute periods and breaks; do not treat them as 200 guaranteed sixty-minute clock hours. The 2026 winter cycle used online application through JinhakApply with document upload; confirm the process and required documents for the cycle you apply to. Course admission does not itself establish visa eligibility, work rights, a TOPIK result or university-degree admission.
