1. Korean Language Teacher Certification 

We recommend CUFS to anyone who wants to become a Korean language teacher abroad. CUFS is an online Korean language course that corresponds to a regular university course. Upon graduating from this course, you will be issued a Korean language teacher certificate by the Korean government.

With the increasing popularity of K-Entertainment, the demand for Korean language learning is rapidly increasing around the world, and there is a shortage of Korean language teachers.  Also, the current Korean language instructor jobs are expected to change to those who have obtained formal teacher certification in the future. Graduates of junior colleges or higher abroad can transfer to the 3rd year of CUFS, so they can graduate in 2 years and keep tuition low. We highly recommend the CUFS Korean course to those who want to acquire a Korean language teacher license to prepare for a second job or post-retirement.
