A Professional-Looking Photo
This photo will be used on the EPIK application that you fill out online. Leaving a good first impression is important, so try using a passport-style or professional photo, as you will need another photo later for the visa process. Using a passport-sized format is recommended so you can use one photo for all uses!

Obtain Two (2) Letters of Recommendation
Applicants must obtain and have ready two (2) letters of recommendation from professional or academic sources. Academic sources can include individuals such as past or current professors, supervisors, managers, etc.
One of the most important aspects of the letter of recommendation is that it contains an ink signature from the writer. For the initial online application, scanned PDF copies are sufficient. Ink-signed originals are submitted later with your final document packet after you pass the EPIK interview.

Enroll in a 100+ Hour TEFL Course
As of 2014, public school programs in Korea require a 100+ hour TEFL/TESOL/CELTA certificate — unless you hold a teaching license, PGCE, B.Ed., M.Ed., or an Education-focused major. Being certified also broadens your options beyond EPIK to any school type in Korea, public or private.
Korvia partners with the London College of Teachers and Trainers to offer a quality 100+ hour TEFL course at a low price with a flexible pace.
