What an environmental educator does
An environmental educator is a person in charge of planning, conducting, analyzing, and evaluating environmental education programs in organizations, institutions, companies, schools, etc. that conduct environmental education. Environmental educators are divided into three grades. Level 1 serves as the director of an environmental education institution, Level 2 acts as a middle manager, and Level 3 acts as a lecturer or commentator.
Field of Employment/Occupation
If you acquire a national qualification for environmental education, you can work as a professional instructor, commentator, or teacher. In order to be designated as a social and environmental education institution in accordance with the Environmental Education Act, mandatory employment is gradually expanding, such as hiring at least one environmental education teacher on a regular basis. Therefore, it can be said that it is a very useful qualification for those who wish to work in the field of environmental education.
Qualifications by level
Environmental educator qualifications are different for each grade. Class 1 requires strict conditions such as more than 9 years of experience and a doctoral degree, so the training course is currently not in operation. Level 2 requires more than 6 years of experience in environmental education. In this article, I will explain the 3rd grade environmental educator, which anyone over the age of 19 can apply for.

Applicants for certification as environmental educators are selected through random lottery as training personnel and training candidates. The selection results are posted on the website of the environmental education company and the environmental education portal, and the selected participants are notified individually. If there is an unregistered or restricted subject among training participants, we will contact you from among the next-priority training candidates.

In order to obtain the Environmental Educator License Level 3, you must complete the basic course and practical course, and pass both the written and practical exams. All training courses (basic, practical) are charged KRW 10,000 per hour.

Unemployed young people between the ages of 19 and 38, low-income people with less than 60% of the median income, and those currently working at institutions wishing to be designated as social and environmental education institutions can receive a subsidy worth KRW 1 million per person for training expenses and limited fees for the training course to acquire environmental education instructor qualifications. . If you pay the tuition first and apply for a refund after obtaining a license as an environmental educator, the education fee will be refunded.
