EPS-TOPIK (Employment Permit System – Test of Proficiency in Korean) is an official Korean language proficiency test designed specifically for foreign workers who want to work in South Korea through the EPS program. It assesses listening and reading comprehension skills required for workplace communication.

Anyone between 18-39 years of age from countries that have signed bilateral agreements with South Korea under the EPS program can take the exam. Candidates must meet basic education requirements and pass medical and background checks.

No prior knowledge of Korean is required to join our course. We start from the basics, including the Korean alphabet (Hangul), and gradually progress to advanced levels. Our beginner-friendly approach makes it easy for everyone to learn.

The minimum passing score is 80 points out of 200 total (40 points in each section – Listening and Reading). However, higher scores significantly improve your chances of being selected by Korean employers.

Our regular course is 6 months long, which is sufficient for most students to reach exam-ready proficiency. We also offer a 3-month fast-track program for dedicated students who can commit more time to intensive study.

After passing, you can apply for jobs through the EPS online system. Korean employers review applications and conduct interviews. Once selected, you’ll undergo medical examination, documentation verification, and visa processing before departing to Korea.

Yes, we provide comprehensive job placement guidance including help with online applications, interview preparation, document preparation, and pre-departure orientation. However, the final selection is made by Korean employers based on EPS system procedures.

Korean employers typically provide accommodation, which significantly reduces living costs. Average monthly living expenses (food, transportation, personal items) range from $300-500. Most workers are able to save a substantial portion of their salary.

Yes, you can request a batch change once during your course, subject to seat availability in the desired batch. Please inform our administration team at least one week in advance.

We provide comprehensive study materials including textbooks, workbooks, practice papers, audio CDs, and access to our online learning platform with video lessons and additional resources. All materials are included in the course fee.

Yes, applicants must be between 18 and 39 years old. Some countries may have slightly different age limits based on bilateral agreements with South Korea.

The exam frequency varies by country and is announced by the HRD Korea. Typically, it’s conducted 1-3 times per year in most countries. We keep our students updated about exam dates and registration periods.

Workers under EPS typically work 8 hours per day, 5-6 days per week in manufacturing, construction, agriculture, or service sectors. Korean labor laws protect foreign workers with the same rights as Korean workers, including minimum wage, overtime pay, and industrial accident compensation.

The E-9 work visa (EPS) does not allow family accompaniment. However, after working in Korea for a certain period, you may be eligible to apply for other visa types that allow family reunion.

Don’t worry! You can retake the exam when it’s next scheduled. We offer free counseling and additional practice materials to help you improve. Many students pass on their second attempt with extra preparation.

Currently, we focus on in-person classroom training for better interaction and practice. However, we provide access to our online learning platform with supplementary video lessons and practice exercises that students can access anytime.

For course registration, you need: passport copy, recent photograph, educational certificates, and contact information. For EPS exam registration (after course completion), additional documents including medical certificate and police clearance are required.
