Studying abroad is to learn

Korean is the first criterion

The Korean language classes at the BMT International Study Abroad Training and Support Center are held almost 7 days a week. There are students who have just graduated from high school, and there are also many who have attended university. However, everyone who has attended the class is serious and diligent.

Compared to her classmates, Nguyen Thi Khanh Huyen is a rather outstanding student. This female student was a 12th grader majoring in Biology at Vinh University High School for the Gifted and has just completed the National High School Exam with a fairly high score. However, because she wanted to study abroad in Korea, Huyen did not apply to universities in Vietnam. Instead, Huyen set her goal at Seoul University - Faculty of Business Administration.

This is also the dream that Huyen has cherished for quite a long time. Therefore, throughout grade 12, Huyen has been studying Korean on her own and in April 2019, Huyen took the exam to get a certificate and got a Topik 1 certificate. A few months later, she got a Topik 2 certificate. With these two important conditions, Huyen is now qualified to study abroad in Korea, but she will continue to stay until the end of the year to improve her Korean.

Unlike Huyen, Luong Hong Quan graduated from high school 4 years ago. The male student who was a student at Huynh Thuc Khang High School was also a student at the University of Transport for a while.

However, at this time, Quan decided to stop all domestic work to prioritize studying Korean. Talking about this, Quan said: Many people told me to try to graduate with a university degree in the country. But I do not regret sacrificing 4 years because I wanted a better future, to learn the profession I love and to work in a dynamic, modern environment.

Once a teacher in Thanh Chuong district and then worked in Korea for 5 years, teacher Nguyen Hoai Dung - teaching at the BMT International Study Abroad Training and Support Center said: Learning Korean is not too difficult. For high school graduates, it only takes 5 months for them to get a Topik certificate. If they are diligent and determined, they can communicate well in 3 months.

Focus on quality over quantity

Since 2016, BMT International Study Abroad Training and Support Center has started operating in the field of studying abroad in Korea and is also one of the pioneers in Nghe An.

After 4 years of operation, the center has sent nearly 500 students from Nghe An and some neighboring provinces to study in the land of Kim Chi and many students are preparing to graduate and go to work. Among these, there are many students with difficult circumstances who have been supported by the center with loans to pay for studying abroad or applying for scholarships from universities in Korea such as the cases of Nguyen Dinh Tuan - Nghi Quang, Nghi Loc, Nguyen Viet Tai - Nghi Thiet, Nghi Loc or Nguyen Thi Kieu in Tru Son - Do Luong.

However, in addition to the positive results, the BMT International Study Abroad Training and Support Center also faces difficulties when there are many students who run away and lack awareness while studying abroad. Talking about this, Mr. Nguyen Phi Long - Director of the Center said: Even just one case of a student running away will greatly affect the reputation of the company and cause damage to both the workers - the unit sending the workers to study abroad and the universities.

In fact, this also forced the center to stop cooperating with many prestigious universities in Korea. Therefore, focusing on input quality is what BMT is concerned about at present. This is also the reason why, although this is the "golden" time to recruit students to study abroad, the center is quite careful when selecting students. Moreover, it also requires students to have a Topik 2 certificate to agree to apply to study abroad.

Sharing about the above decision, Mr. Nguyen Phi Long added: With this form, we are finding a difficult path for ourselves. But I believe that in the long run, this is a sure direction and ensures the effectiveness and quality of training. Because, I want students to see that, to study abroad, first of all, they have to "study". Then, when they have enough foreign languages ​​and degrees, the opportunity for them to stay and work long-term will be greater and certainly their income will also be higher, and they will be more respected.

To do this, the center is currently focusing on foreign language training for students before studying abroad, ensuring that 100% of students must achieve TOPIK 2. The center also invests in LAB classrooms that meet foreign language teaching standards, recruiting teachers who have studied in Korea to join the teaching. At the same time, strengthen links with foreign language centers of Korean universities to test students' abilities. Currently, the company is cooperating with 6 Korean universities: Inchon University. Cheongju. Mokpo. Deagu Tech. Dong Eui. Masan...

By participating in this program, students also receive special incentives. Accordingly, while other study abroad programs may cost each student nearly 300 million VND (including a deposit to prevent escape), with this program the initial cost is reduced to about 170 million VND, without the deposit to prevent escape. Students also have more advantages when there are many schools to choose from, and can work legally...
