Questions to settle before you choose
What is your starting level, and does the school offer a placement test before enrollment?
Does the class format (group, private, online) and weekly commitment suit your schedule?
What is the total fee per term, including registration, materials and GST?
What is the teaching language, and is instruction available in English, Mandarin or Korean?
Are make-up sessions offered if you miss a class, and what is the attendance policy?
Does the school offer TOPIK preparation, and how is the exam track scheduled alongside regular courses?
What to check before choosing a Korean language school
Start with your current level (complete beginner, some self-study, or returning learner), your goal (conversation, TOPIK, business Korean, travel), your preferred format (group class, private, online) and how fast you want to progress. These five schools publish different combinations of course levels, formats, pacing and schedules.
Course scope and pacing differ between these schools
Some schools offer one pacing option; others publish regular, express and intensive tracks. Class duration per session ranges from 1.5 hours to 3 hours. Some publish per-term pricing on their website; others require a direct enquiry. Check whether your preferred level, schedule and campus location are available before enrolling.
Questions to ask before enrolling
Which course and starting level match your prior study?
What are the teaching hours, frequency and dates for the actual intake?
Does the quoted total include GST, materials and registration?
What are the group, private, online and classroom options?
What placement and make-up arrangements apply?
If funding matters, what current official eligibility and course conditions need checking?
