[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] The Korea International Trade Association announced on the 18th that it will hold a special additional exam on May 29th in response to the recent surge in demand for the Level 1 International Trade Specialist qualification exam.

The special additional exam can be registered online only through Interpark Ticket from 9 a.m. on April 26th until 5 p.m. on May 13th.

The International Trade Specialist qualification exam is a private certification exam conducted by the Association's Trade Academy to improve the practical trade skills and verify the abilities of trade industry workers and prospective traders. It has been held twice a year, in February and August. However, recently, as various qualification exams that could provide extra points for job seekers were canceled or postponed due to the impact of COVID-19, many candidates have been flocking to normally held exams such as the International Trade Specialist exam.

Jang Seok-min, Secretary General of the Trade Academy, stated, "Since there is high demand from job seekers, we judged that it would be best to increase the opportunity to take the exam within the scope of stable operation with thorough quarantine measures." He added, "For this special exam, we have prepared about 3,800 seats across 15 test centers in 12 regions nationwide."

If there are many applicants, test centers may close early. The Trade Association recommends registering in advance on both the Trade Academy and Interpark Ticket websites before the exam registration period to ensure smooth exam registration.

To prevent the spread of COVID-19, candidates with a fever of 37.5 degrees Celsius or higher or symptoms such as coughing on the exam day will not be allowed to take the exam. Detailed information about the exam can be found in the notices on the Trade Academy website.
