[Asia Economy Reporter Jo In-kyung] The YBM Korea TOEIC Committee has announced that the cumulative number of people who have used the free test support system provided to reduce the employment preparation burden for socially vulnerable groups exceeded 20,000 by the end of last year. When converted based on the test fee, this amounts to over 900 million KRW.


The TOEIC Committee revealed on the 7th that the number of people who used the 'Free TOEIC Test Support System for Basic Livelihood Security Recipients,' which has been in operation since 2018, reached a total of 20,343 as of the end of December 2019.


Among these 20,000 people, about 91% were in their 20s, the typical job-seeking age group, with females accounting for 63% and males 37%, showing a higher proportion of female test takers.


To receive free test support, test takers need to enter the 'Document Verification Number' and 'Certificate Issuance Number' located at the top of the 'National Basic Livelihood Security Recipient Certificate' issued by the government.



Meanwhile, since 2002, the TOEIC Committee has also been providing a 50% discount on TOEIC test fees to military officers and soldiers to support English learning and employment.
