After finishing the course, you need to pass a written test and an interview.

Once you pass both and go through the official review process, you can earn your certificate to teach the Korean language.

I passed the interview last November, and now I'm teaching Korean online to a student living in Spain.

In the future, I hope to also teach in person at a multicultural center or something like that.
