Nine Training Courses Offered for Professional Certification... Applications Accepted Through Gangseo Lifelong Learning Center Website Until April 12

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Despite the unprecedented situation of COVID-19, the enthusiasm of Gangseo-gu residents for education remained strong.

Last year, the ‘23rd Gangseo Saeromi University,’ conducted online for the first time ever to prevent the spread of COVID-19, proved this enthusiasm as many residents participated and it concluded with favorable reviews.

Seoul Gangseo-gu (Mayor Noh Hyun-song) has prepared an upgraded ‘24th Gangseo Saeromi University’ online course building on last year’s experience and achievements.

The purpose is to strengthen residents’ capabilities and activate social participation through a high-quality non-face-to-face education program.

Gangseo Saeromi University is a professional certification acquisition course operated by the district in collaboration with KC University within the region.

This education will be conducted from April 26 to June 24 using the video conferencing platform ‘Zoom’ in a real-time interactive online format, held twice a week from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM for about two hours.

The curriculum consists of nine courses: seven courses that were highly favored by last year’s students ? ▲One-person Broadcasting Creator (Beginner) ▲Level 2 Professional Organizer ▲Pet Care Specialist ▲Level 1 Career Coaching Instructor ▲Level 2 Child Psychology Counselor ▲Level 2 Natural Health Manager ▲Level 3 Blockchain Manager ? plus two newly added courses ▲E-commerce Operator ▲Brain Education Instructor.

Courses with relatively low satisfaction among students from the existing curriculum were boldly discontinued, and new promising certification acquisition courses were added.

Before the education begins, the district will recruit 30 students per course. The tuition fee is 30,000 KRW, and textbook fees, material costs, and certification issuance fees are separate.

Anyone aged 18 or older who is a Gangseo-gu resident or works in Gangseo-gu can apply on the Gangseo Lifelong Learning Center website from the 22nd of this month until the 12th of next month.

If the number of applicants exceeds the quota, students will be selected through a random computerized lottery, and courses with less than 50% enrollment may be canceled.

The district will announce the selection results on April 13 on the Gangseo Lifelong Learning Center website and notify the selected applicants individually.

Those who attend more than 80% of the classes will receive a certificate of completion, and eligibility to take private certification exams will also be granted.

A district official said, “We hope this practical and professional certification education at Saeromi University will be an opportunity to strengthen expertise and competitiveness,” adding, “We encourage many to participate in this education, which is composed of substantial content in various fields.”
