Hi..
Are you talking about simultaneous interpretation?
There's no International Korean-English interpreter exam.
BTW, Where are your hometown in Korea ?
Are you Korean ?

Joe

What Capacity?

In what capacity do you want to be a Korean-English interpreter? Do you want to become a U.S. Government interpreter or linguist working in Korea? The path to becoming one in some ways depends upon what it is exactly you would like to do in the career. Different jobs, with different requirements, know what i mean?

Mr. Joe is on a distinguished road
Cool

Watch the US and British (and Australian) Embassies in Seoul. They occasionally have jobs requiring bi-lingual folks. Each has a fluency exam. If you get in with the Australian embassy folks in Australia, they might put in a good word for you in Seoul! Maybe you could be a ROK Marine guarding the Embassy? Who knows? We have Korean Army CID (Criminal Investigators) on Yongsan. Maybe Korean Ministry of Defense (MND) is your key to finding out the best military job for you. If you don't get your qualifications known somewhere, or don't have someone to sponsor you before you get off the plane, they may just quickly put you in the Army where the need is greatest! (Probably Cook, Medic or Police.) Good luck on the KATUSA idea!
