What is the EPS-TOPIK?

EPS-TOPIK is a Korean language proficiency test conducted for foreign nationals who wish to work legally in South Korea under the Employment Permit System (EPS). The test is designed to assess basic Korean language skills required for everyday communication and workplace situations, especially in sectors such as manufacturing, construction, agriculture, and fisheries. It evaluates candidates mainly on listening and reading abilities through multiple-choice questions, focusing on practical language use, safety instructions, and common work-related expressions rather than academic Korean. Passing the EPS-TOPIK is a mandatory requirement to be eligible for job placement and to obtain an E-9 work visa for South Korea. The test is administered by authorized agencies in participating countries, including Nepal, and the result is generally valid for up to two years, depending on current government regulations.

EPS-TOPIK PREPARATION (Employment Permit System- Test of Proficiency in Korean)

With the Employment Permit System (EPS), the EPS-TOPIK Preparation Course is intended for people who want to work in South Korea. Prior to learning the necessary grammar and vocabulary for the job, the course begins with learning how to read and write in Hangul. Students enhance their reading comprehension using labels, notices, and brief passages, and they hone their listening abilities via discussions, directions, and announcements. Learners may communicate more effectively in everyday and professional contexts by receiving practical sentence pattern instruction. Practice with previous EPS-TOPIK papers, model tests, and UBT/CBT computer-based simulations that replicate the real test format are all part of the course to help students become more exam-ready. Through this course, students acquire the language proficiency and self-assurance required to pass the EPS-TOPIK and function well in Korean workplaces.
