Who comes from here
Who studies with our Korean driving school from Guro and Yeongdeungpo
Office and technical staff
The Guro and Gasan digital complexes hold a large number of technology and manufacturing employers, and a steady share of each Saturday class comes from them.
Long-settled foreign residents
Yeongdeungpo-gu and Guro-gu have some of the most established international communities in Seoul. Many of our students here have lived in Korea for years and simply never needed a car until now.
A pattern we see repeatedly along this corridor: someone has been in Korea for five or ten years, speaks reasonable Korean, and still wants the licence course in English — because traffic law vocabulary is a completely different problem from conversational Korean.
Shift work
Fitting a Korean licence course around shift patterns
The only fixed point is Saturday afternoon
If your work runs on shifts rather than office hours, the flexible part of this course matters more than the price. Practical sessions run 09:00 to 20:00 and we are open every day of the year, including public holidays.
Morning sessions before an afternoon shift
Evening sessions up to 20:00
Public holidays, when most schools are shut
Book each session at least an hour ahead; complete all hours within three months
The written test is the exception — examination centres run Monday to Friday, so that one needs a weekday morning.
Saturday class
Saturday Korean theory class in English for Yeongdeungpo commuters
A direct train from anywhere on this stretch of Line 1, and no booking required. Turn up before 12:00 with your ARC.
Every Saturday, 13:00–16:00
Three hours of mandatory road safety education, in English
Arrive by 12:00 with your Alien Registration Card to register
No booking needed — walk in
Everything else fits around work

Pricing
Korean licence course prices for Yeongdeungpo residents
The same everywhere. Three-month interest-free card instalments are available and are what most working students use.
All prices include 10% VAT. Three-month interest-free card instalments available.
Examination fees are 55,000 KRW each for the skills test and the road test.
If you already hold a licence but have never driven in Korea, the road practice hours at the bottom of this table are what you want rather than a full course.
Written test
Where Yeongdeungpo residents take the Korean written test
Gangseo is the natural choice from the west of Seoul
Of Seoul's four driver's licence examination centres, Gangseo generally suits the western districts best and is usually easier to get through than Gangnam. Seobu is another option from this side of the city.
All four Seoul centres offer the written test in English, selected at the terminal. You are generally free to use whichever fits your week — go mid-week and mid-morning, and avoid the first working day after a public holiday.

FAQ
Korean driving school for Yeongdeungpo — frequently asked questions
How do I get to your driving school from Yeongdeungpo?
Line 1 southbound from Yeongdeungpo through Sindorim, Guro, Gasan Digital Complex, Doksan, Geumcheon-gu Office and Seoksu to Gwanak Station. No transfer, roughly half an hour, then Exit 1 and a five-minute walk.
Which Line 1 branch do I need from Guro?
At Guro the line splits. The Incheon branch runs west through Bucheon; the Gyeongbu branch runs south through Gasan Digital Complex toward Cheonan. Gwanak is on the Gyeongbu branch, so take a train marked Cheonan, Sinchang or Seodongtan.
Can I do the course if I work shifts?
Yes, and this is one of the main reasons students from this corridor choose us. Practical sessions run 09:00 to 20:00 every day of the year including public holidays, so morning sessions before an afternoon shift and evening sessions both work. The written test is the exception, since examination centres run Monday to Friday.
Is the Saturday theory class compulsory?
The three hours of road safety education are legally required before you can sit the written test. We run that class every Saturday from 13:00 to 16:00 in English — walk in before 12:00 with your Alien Registration Card, no booking needed.
How much does the course cost from Yeongdeungpo?
The same as anywhere. Class 2 Regular is 765,000 KRW for the programme and around 875,000 KRW all in, Class 1 Regular is 795,000 and roughly 905,000 KRW. Three-month interest-free card instalments are available.
Where do Yeongdeungpo residents take the Korean written test?
Gangseo generally suits the western districts best and is usually quicker than Gangnam, with Seobu another option from this side of the city. All four Seoul centres offer the test in English, selected at the terminal.
I have lived in Korea for years and speak some Korean. Should I still take the course in English?
Many of our students from this corridor are in exactly that position. Traffic law vocabulary is a different problem from conversational Korean, and taking the theory in English usually saves time rather than costing pride.
