Classes in Korean Language commenced at InKo Centre in May 2007. We started, with the process of identifying faculty, specialised in teaching Korean as a foreign language and mobilizing first time learners. We signed an MoU with Sangmyung University in Korea in June 2010 for new initiatives in the field of Korean Language teaching, including faculty and student exchange. We also signed a meaningful MoU with The King Sejong Institute Foundation for teaching Korean Language at our Centre in 2011.The King Sejong Institute Foundation (KSIF) is a public institution under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and was established to manage Korean language education and culture abroad. Based on the increasing need and steady flow of enquiries from the student community and professionals, we now offer two main courses in Korean - namely Korean Language for General Purposes, for language aspirants at different levels, starting from the Beginner Level to the Advanced and Korean Language for Business Purposes, which are customised courses for Indian employees in Korean companies in India. We are a designated Centre in South India for TOPIK- the Test for Proficiency in Korean, which is a globally accepted test that verifies levels of proficiency in Korean.
