GOE Public School Program

Subscribe here for Updates

In addition to the biannual EPIK Program GoldKey is also an accredited agency for the GOE Program. GOE (Gyeongnam Office of Education) hires Conversational English Teachers through the EPIK Program every February and August but they do have a number of posts that require new teachers arrive at schools through the year between March and November.
The GOE contracts, benefits & employment conditions are identical to those enjoyed as an EPIK candidate in the province.


As the time period between a GOE interview and flying to Korea is typically 2-3 weeks it is essential that you have the full set of Application Documents ready to be submitted to GoldKey in by courier to secure your contract and work visa as soon as you have successfully passed the official Skype Interview.

Gyeongnam Province lies immediately to the west of Busan Metro

2 Sealed University Transcripts

(please watch the video)

These must be two separate, sealed college or university envelopes each containing a complete record of your studies from the first year of study to the last year listing courses and grades. They must be sealed in the student records office with a university stamp, seal or stickers astride the envelope flap. Your full name must be written clearly on the front of each envelope as we cannot break the seal on unmarked envelopes to ascertain to whom they belong. These sealed envelopes must be sent by courier to the GoldKey office for submission to Korea.

Background Check with Apostille

(please watch the video)

This is the most troublesome document as it typically takes a very long time to get this from your government. We urge you to apply for this as soon as you possibly can. Apply at your local Police Station or through your national government Background Check department (ie. the FBI) and monitor the progress of your application online. Once completed the certificate must be apostilled by your national government. Carefully scan & mail to applications@goldkeyeducation.com without damaging the apostille seal. Keep the original safe for submission after your interview.

Apostilled Copy of Degree Certificate

(please watch the video)

To start the process please send an email to verificationsletter@saqa.org.za
Include the following in the email:

1. A completed SAQA Consent Verification Form

2. A high quality digital scan of your degree certificate


SAQA will email you an invoice with their banking details. Deposit the funds and email the Proof of Payment back to SAQA. They will then contact your old university and issue an original Verification Letter and print and stamp the scan of your degree certificate.  You then need to send a courier to collect these 2 pages from SAQA to take them to DIRCO for the apostille to be attached.
