January 7, 2010 by liza

Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) who want to work in South Korea can apply for the sixth Korean Employment Permit System-Korean Language Test (EPS-KLT) from January 25-29, 2010.
According to the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration’s (POEA), the examination will be held either on the last Sunday of February or first Sunday of March 2010.
Passing the KLT is an important step before applicants can qualify to be included in the List of Jobseekers from which Korean employers can electronically select workers to be offered jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors under the foreign labor quota for 2010.
Applicants are advised to deal only with the POEA and to follow the prescribed procedures to be announced. This includes ensuring that they are registered with the electronic manpower registry of the POEA on or before the deadline of January 15, 2010.
Previously registered applicants should keep their account active and updated, which means that they should have visited their account within the last three (3) months or less.
To qualify, the applicant should also comply with the following requirements:

• 18 to 38 years old
• At least high school graduate
• Passport is valid for at least 6 months
• No criminal/imprisonment record
• Not restricted to travel to Korea due to past immigration violation
• Payment of KLT fee of Php850 or US$17 payable to Human Resources Development Service (HRD Korea)
• Submission of 2×2 ID pictures with name tag (2 pieces)

Registration venues in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao will be announced later.
The EPS-KLT will cover 50 items divided into reading (40 minutes) and listening (30 minutes) to be taken from the pool of questions in the EPS-KLT Reviewer of HRD Korea. Each correct answer is equivalent to 4 points.
An applicant needs at least 80 points and above to pass the EPS-KLT.
No formal Korean language training is required and the EPS-KLT Reviewer with answer keys is downloadable from the POEA website.
The last EPS-KLT was conducted on May 6, 2007 with Php1500 or US$30 as the test fee.
