Required Documents

As with everything in life, it is better to plan ahead. If you wish to teach in Korea in less than 6 months, you should start gathering all of these required documents:

Valid passport, that is valid at least 6 months after you plan on landing in Korea
Original university degree (it will be returned to you when you land in Korea)
3 sets of Sealed University Transcripts
(US) State/ (Canada) National criminal record check (for all countries other than Canada, this check must be "apostilled". See apostilleinfo.com to learn more)
2 letters of reference from either past or present employers or university professors (required only for public school jobs, but worth gathering at this stage)

Please note that you can apply with us anytime, and we can review the required documents in more detail at that time.

We can start the job hunt as soon as you apply, and we review your file with you, but the soonest you can start in Korea is 4-5 weeks after you have all documents in your hand. We would just start looking for start dates that match when you can be ready to leave.

Disclaimer: While we strive to keep all information on this website current and up to date, please note that the document requirements are subject to change with little or no notice. Once you’ve applied, your Teacher Rep is the best way to confirm what is currently required.
