At a glance

  • Learn Excel from data entry to reports, or edit Hangul documents with tables and a table of contents.
  • Start with smartphone settings and app installation, or explore making videos and characters as a hobby.
  • Video length and the learning period after enrollment vary by course. To receive a certificate, enroll as a member and meet the completion requirements.

To plan your study time after work, check the video length first. The short video editing course has just over 1 hour of videos, while the Excel course runs for more than 8 hours. Add time to practice alongside the videos, and you will have a clearer idea of how much to take on now.

Gyeonggi-do's GSEEK lifelong learning portal offers free online learning without registration. To receive a certificate, you must enroll as a member. Even among beginner courses, the learning period after enrollment varies between 30 and 60 days. Consider both what you want to learn and how much you can finish.

Ask before you go

1Where do I get a certificate for an online course?

Log in on a PC, then open “View My Space” under “My Space.” Go to “Learning Management,” open “Certificate History” and issue your certificate. The certificate includes an official seal when printed from a PC. Saving it with “Save Certificate” omits the seal.

2What name appears on an online course certificate?

It uses the name you entered when registering. Changing it is difficult unless you have legally changed your name or there is an obvious typo. If you need a certificate, enter your own name accurately in your registration details.

3Can I watch lessons while traveling?

The GSEEK app lets you download learning content over Wi-Fi. Studying with downloaded content can reduce mobile data use while traveling.
