Language Proficiency Exam Support: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Young adults in South Korea can get reimbursed for specific language exam fees to help with career upskilling and professional development.

This scheme helps young adults cover the costs of taking certain standardized language proficiency exams.

Who it's for

This support is designed specifically for young adults looking to improve their language skills.

What you get

If you qualify, you can receive a reimbursement for the fees paid to take specific language exams, such as the TOEIC, JLPT, or HSK.

What it costs you

While the financial cost is reimbursed, you are required to either pass the exam or provide official proof that you attended the testing session.

The catch to know

The support is not unlimited; there is a set number of vouchers or funding slots available each year, so they may run out.

How to apply

  1. Check with your local government office to see if they are currently offering the support.
  2. Confirm which specific language exams are covered under their current policy.
  3. Register for your exam and keep your official receipts and proof of attendance or results.
  4. Submit your claim through your local government's designated process to receive your reimbursement.
