Before you start applying for teaching jobs in Korea, make sure you have the physical copy of your diploma and your criminal record check apostilled and ready to go!


Preparing Your Diploma
Check here for a list of notaries in Australia. Some universities may also be able to notarize your diploma, either for free or a fee.
1. The notary public will make an official copy of your diploma. 
2. The copy will be notarized. In some cases, you will sign the copy and then they will sign and notarize it. 
3. Paste an apostille on the back of your notarized copy.


Preparing Your Criminal Record Check
Receiving a criminal record check in Australia takes anywhere from 2-7 weeks.
1. Apply for 1 nationwide National Police Check via the Australian Federal Police.


The Apostille Process
Have an apostille attached to:
1. The notarized copy of your diploma 
2. The original, hard-copy of the Criminal Record Check.


You may send in your documents to have an apostille pasted to them via Apostille Australia Certificate Service.
Once you have both your diploma and criminal record check with the apostilles, you will be ready to go and can start applying for teaching positions in Korea!  Once you have these documents ready, schools will know that you are serious about pursuing a position in Korea and will be able to move forward with your application.

I am an American living in Korea and offer my skills and abilities to match the perfect teacher and schools. I am pleased to be the main recruiting partner with The WorknPlay. Teaching in Korea has changed my life for the better. I’m excited for the opportunity to help that come true for others. For almost the last decade, I have spent time in many different teaching situations in Korea. Those experiences put me in the unique position to help others find the situations best suited for them. I have worked in large and small cities all over Korea and can efficiently help you find a position that best suits your lifestyle and goals. Using my experience and knowledge of the Korean educational system I can help form a strong link between teachers and employers. There are many great opportunities for everyone in Korea, and it’s my goal to make sure I can help fulfill as many of those as possible.
