Class Placement

KLI will place you into the most suitable class based on your past Korean studies through our placement test. We offer a placement test for all new students for all of our programs. All KLI students will be placed into the student’s appropriate classes in accordance with his/her Korean ability.

They are tested in different areas (listening, speaking, reading, writing, and grammar) and placed according to their needs and abilities. If you feel that you are a beginner and that you belong to Level 1, then you do not have to take the placement test.
Each class has more or less than 13 students.

Please be aware that the class cannot be opened if the class size is less than 5 students.

Certificate of Completion, Credits

Class attendance is mandatory and critical in language programs. Students are required to attend at least 48 hours of the total 60 class hours in order to receive credit from the program. Students who miss more than 12 hours will fail the program and therefore not receive a grade.

The Cultural activities are all mandatory parts of the program. (For example, ‘only attending Korean class’ is not allowed) 
However, when completing the course, only the Korean class is included in the required attendance hours. Cultural activities will not be included

Students in the program may receive university-level academic credits for the successful completion of all work and requirements.
Upon request, KLI will send an official transcript or certificate to the registrar’s office of the school designated by the student.

The transfer of credits and the number of credits accepted are to be determined by the student’s university.
