Who certifies me?
Your certification comes from IFDA Korea.
After completing your course here in IFDA Philippines through BAFA, we’ll submit a portfolio of your work for official review and approval.
Certification is granted directly by IFDA Korea. Additionally, if you opt to get certified as an Instructor, a qualification exam should be passed by the student.
Who is KRIVET?
KRIVET is the Korea Research Institute for Vocational Education and Training — the official body that oversees vocational certification standards in South Korea.
IFDA is recognized by KRIVET, so your certification carries real weight — even globally.
Do I need to fly to Korea?
Nope!
You can take the exact same curriculum and earn your official Korean certification right here in the Philippines, through BAFA — the only official IFDA partner school in the country.
