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.
