GENERAL INFORMATION ●ELIGIBILITY: Local residents aged 18 and above ●FEE: Free (Offered online & in classroom) ●HOW TO APPLY: Online application only * Limited seats available and first-come, first-served basis. * Number of classes is registered strictly limited to one per person. * Any applications received during a non-registration period will not be valid. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (F.A.Q.) 1. I am not sure of my level, how do I know which level to enroll in? Please try the level test to determine your level. You will be able to get an evaluation result immediately so you can place into the appropriate level. You can also access the e-book to check the content you will be learning. We require that you register for only ONE level. Please DO NOT register for more than one level each semester. 2. Do I need to take the level test in order to enroll in courses? No. Taking the level test is not compulsory. If you are certain of your level, you do not need to take the level test. However, if you are unsure of your level we do suggest you to take the level test. 3. Should I register for more than one course if I am not sure which class to take? No. Please do not register for more than one class per semester, as it will create duplicate entries in our system and you will take space away from other students. Please note that any duplicate entries will not be valid. 4. I am an existing student, do I need to register again/every semester? Yes, we ask all students to register for every semester. Previous registrations are not valid for once the term is over. 5. Can I reapply to the course I have taken before? Absolutely. You are more than welcome to reapply so that you are prepared for the next level. 6. Can I transfer/change course during the term? Unfortunately, no. Each class has waitlisted students who have applied specifically for that class. This ensures fairness in the allocation of class seats. 7. I will be missing out on few classes; can I receive a recorded video or attend subtitute class? No. We do not provide recorded videos or allow substitute classes due to privacy reasons. All classes will run in real time only. 8. Is there a minimum attendance policy? Yes, attending all classes is expected, but the minimum attendance requirement is 50%. Please always inform your teacher, if you have an emergency preventing you from attending each class. 9. Can I get a certificate to show I’ve taken the course? Certificate of completion are only issued to students whose attendance rate is 75% or higher. If you have any further questions, please contact us via; 02 8267 3400 or sejong@koreanculture.org.au
