The 99th Test of Proficiency in Korean (Auckland)

The Test of Proficiency in Korean (TOPIK) serves as a standardised assessment for non-native speakers of the Korean language. Administered six times annually (in January, April, May, July, October, and November) within Korea, it is also available, albeit less frequently, to individuals studying Korean abroad.

This year, the 99th TOPIK is scheduled to be held on Saturday, 12 April 2025, in Auckland. For further details, please click on this page.  

The next round of TOPIK is planned for Christchurch in October 2025. Please look out for more details about the next round of TOPIK on this section of the KEC webpage, or contact the KEC at nzkoreanedu@gmail.com.
