How to register for a KIIP class with proper time and location on socinet.go.kr

Guideline for applying a KIIP class with proper time and location on socinet.go.kr

In order to apply for a KIIP class, you have to meet one of the following conditions:

- 1st: take a level test (사전평가) and get your assigned level based on your test score

- 2nd: submit your valid TOPIK test score to your local immigration office and get your assigned level

- 3nd: apply for the KIIP program and start from level 0 (without taking the level test)

The class registration time is often after the level test a week. As soon as you get your score or assigned level, you should start to search for a class with your desired time and location.

Announcement:

• From Jan 2020, the class registration time is changed from 0:00 AM to 9:00 AM. 

Good point: This means you don't have to wait until midnight to register for class anymore.
Bad point: It is more difficult to register for class since more people want to apply for the same class.

Here are a step-by-step guide for applying a KIIP class:

Step 2: In 마이페이지, click 과정신청 to start applying for a KIIP class.

Step 3: In the 과정신청 page, scroll down to see the class list.

You will see the following items as below:

- 주소 = class location (check the location on google map whether it is close or convenient to you)

- 신청시간 = registration time (the registration opening time starts at 9:00 AM, so make sure to login your account before that 5 or 10 minutes)

- 정원 = maximum number of students in the class (e.g. 20 students)
