PREPARATIONS UNDERWAY FOR THE 6th KOREAN LANGUAGE TEST IN EARLY 2010

In cooperation with the Human Resources Development Service (HRD Korea), the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) is calling on workers wishing to work in South Korea to prepare early for the processing of application under the Korean Employment Permit System (EPS).

Passing a Korean Language Test (KLT) is an important step before applicants can qualify to be included in the List of Jobseekers from which Korean employers can electronically select workers to be offered jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors under the foreign labor quota for 2010.

Applicants are advised to deal only with the POEA and to follow the prescribed procedures to be announced. This includes ensuring that they are registered with the electronic manpower registry of the POEA (www.poea.gov.ph) on or before the deadline of 15 January 2009. Previously registered applicants should keep their account active and updated which means that they should have visited their account for the last three (3) months or less.

In order to qualify, the applicant should also comply with the following requirements:

1. 18 to 38 years old
2. At least high school graduate
3. Passport is valid for at least 6 months
4. Has no criminal/imprisonment record
5. Not restricted to travel to Korea due to past immigration violation
6. Payment pf KLT fee of Php850 or US$17 payable to HRD Korea
7. Submission of 2x2 ID pictures with name tag (2 pieces).

The application period for the EPS-KLT is on January 25 to 29 while selected registration venues in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao will be announced later. The exmination is targeted either on the last Sunday of February or first Sunday of March 2010.

The EPS-KLT will cover 50 items divided into reading (40 minutes) and listening (30 minutes) to be taken from the pool of questions in the EPS-KLT Reviewer of HRD Korea. Each correct answer is equivalent to 4 points. An applicant needs at least 80 points and above to pass the EPS-KLT.

No formal Korean language training is required and the EPS-KLT Reviewer with answer keys is downloadable from the POEA website.

The last EPS-KLT was conducted on 6 May 2007 with Php1500 or US$30 as the test fee.

by maykel_mike Tue Jan 05, 2010 3:20 am

gud pm brod, tanong ko lang panung mag bayad ng exam fees? kc parang ang labo ng poea, pag-inilabas naba nila un account no. sa landbank ay kahit sino pede na magbayad sa ano mang branch ng landbank at un nakapag register lang sa poea online? at pag oras na nakabayad pupunta naba sa opis ng poea para magpa sched ng klt-exam dala un resibo galing landbank? o ang poea na ang mag contact samin na magpa sched n ng klt-exam, naguguluhan pa kasi ako sa pag bayad at sa pag pa sched ng klt-exam sana masagot nyo to ng mabuti at maliwanag para na rin sa nagtatanong tumgkol sa klt-exam. thank you malaking tulong tong site para sa mga kumukuha ng kaalaman sa eps-korea.

makikisabat na po ako, base po ito dun sa nakausap ng Mrs ko sa POEA, ang deadline of online registration po ay sa January 15 na po, after po nun magkakaroon po sila ng pre qualifying or pre-selection base sa mga experiences nung nagparegister, ipopost po nila sa website, at sa January 25-29 un po ung dates na pwede na sila magbayad at magpresent ng mga documents sa POEA as long as nasa list sila ng mga pre-selected na, ung mga Provinces po naman eh mag-aanounce sila sa website, antayin nalang po, so meaning to say hindi lahat ng nakaregister sa data base nila ay may chance na makapag-exam, magbabase po sila sa data na ibibigay nyo during online registration nyo kung qualify kyo, sabi sa Mrs ko mas maganda kung may alam na sa Korean Language ung applicant, ngayon po kasi hindi kailangan na kumuha pa ng korean language sa school as long as na kaya mo maipasa ung exam...un lang po dun po sa may mga idea about upcoming KLT Exam, share nyo nalang po, kung may konting mali po sa sinabi ko, wag po tayo magbigay ng violent reactions, salamat po!

magandang araw po!ibig sabihin po pedeng self study na lng?so d pala advisable na magaral na sila ng korean language sa training center na acredited ng poea at tesda(my bayad na 6,000 pesos) hangat d pa sila selected or nakasali sa pre selection?yong kapatid ko kasi ay pinagaral ko sa training center,yong pang 2nd day nila ay pinagtake daw sila ng exam at di sya nakapasa at ang sabi wag na daw muna syang pumasok at sa sunod na batch na lng daw ulit sya.so sayang naman ang ibabayad kung ganun.so nagpasya ako na wag na syang bumalik sa training center tutal di pa naman sya nagbayad ng nasabing training fee at mag aral na lang sya sa bahay.kung maseselect man sya at mabigyan ng chance na makapagexam,mabuti....mag iingat po tayo sa mga mapagsamantalang training centers!

sa tingin ko din po kaya hindi na nagbigay ng formal study para sa KLT kasi daming abusadong school ngayon, sinasamantala nila ung mga nag-aaral ng Korean Language kung ano2 ang pinababayaran (Cd's, T-shirt, books at kung ano2 pa) sa mahal ng bayad sa mga schools ngayon, tapos nagkakaroon pa ung mga schools ng idea na makipagugnayan sa POEA for sulutan ng papel sa loob ng POEA, kung sino ang may pera na student nila na kaya magbayad ng malaki, un ang isasalang nila (aware naman po tayo cguro dyan, nangyari na po kc ito nung mga nahuling KLT Exam, involved ang mga taga POEA Personnel) kaya mas maganda na din po na mag self study nalang po tayo, iwas gastos, mas matututo kayo magsalita ng korean kapag and2 na kyo, sa pinas ba tinuturo ung "SHIBAL at SHIKYA" hahahahahahaha....
