According to the center on November 20, since the ITQ certification course began during the winter vacation of 2020, more than 175 out of 190 youths who took the certification exam over the past six years-over 92%-have successfully obtained the ITQ certificate.

The center is also preparing Excel and Hangul ITQ certification courses for youths aged 12 to 19 during the upcoming winter vacation.

Applications for the courses will be accepted online and via mobile from January 2 to January 13 next year, and the classes will be held from January 19 to February 21.

Additionally, the center plans to support students by conducting mock exams before the actual certification test.

Upon completion of the course, students will immediately take the ITQ certification exam on February 22 at Chuncheon Vocational College.

The center launched the remote ITQ certification course in 2020, when social distancing measures were in place due to COVID-19, with the goal of helping local students make productive use of their vacations by obtaining at least one certification each.

After the return to normalcy, in-person classes have continued through the most recent summer vacation, offering PowerPoint, Excel, and Hangul certification courses.

Choi Moonsun, Mayor of Hwacheon County, stated, "We will continue to support a variety of courses, including nationally accredited certifications that can benefit the future of Hwacheon’s youth, as well as programs in IT, the Fourth Industrial Revolution, and arts and culture."
