How to Check and Verify the Remaining Limit of the National Tomorrow Learning Card<\/h2>\n

Once you have been issued the National Tomorrow Learning Card, it is important to frequently check your remaining subsidy balance and make plans. Since individual subsidy limits and self-payment ratios vary from person to person, you must understand your remaining limit in advance before applying for training courses so that you can efficiently manage your budget. We provide a detailed guide on how to easily and quickly check the remaining limit of the National Tomorrow Learning Card on PC and mobile through the official platform of the Ministry of Employment and Labor.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Accessing and Logging in to the Employment24 (HRD-Net) Website<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    All information and remaining limits of the National Tomorrow Learning Card are integrated and managed through Employment24 (formerly HRD-Net), the official vocational training portal operated by the government.
    \nWhen using the PC website: Search for ‘Employment24’ in the portal search bar and access the official website.
    \nWhen using the mobile app: Download and run the ‘Employment24’ or ‘HRD-Net’ app from your smartphone app store.
    \nProceeding with login: Choose a convenient method among joint certificates (formerly official certificates), financial certificates, and simple authentication (PASS, Naver, Kakao, etc.), authenticate your identity, and log in. You can immediately check your card issuance status in the upper right corner of the main screen or in My Page.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Checking the Subsidy Balance in the My Page ‘My Card’ Menu<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Once login is complete, you can check your individual account balance with just a few clicks.
      \nEntering the path: Go to [My Page] on the main screen of the homepage or the [Government Subsidy] \/ [My Card] tab in the top menu.
      \nChecking the account balance: When you access the National Tomorrow Learning Card account information section, the total subsidy received from the state and the currently usable remaining limit (balance) are transparently displayed in KRW units.
      \nReference for individual support limits:
      \nThe basic support amount is usually 3 million KRW, and depending on an individual’s income level or employment type (fixed-term worker, employment insurance insured status, etc.), it can be increased up to 5 million KRW.
      \nSince low-income families or specific employment support target groups are eligible for self-payment exemptions or additional support benefits, you must check your self-payment rate together in your account details.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Precautions to Keep in Mind When Checking the Remaining Limit<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Checking the expiration date: The expiration date of the National Tomorrow Learning Card is 5 years from the issuance date. After 5 years, any remaining limit will automatically expire even if it is left over, so you must plan and exhaust necessary education in advance within the period.
        \nSupport limit deduction method: Among the total costs incurred when taking a training course, only the amount corresponding to the ‘government subsidy’ is deducted from the Tomorrow Learning Card account, and the self-payment portion is paid directly through a separate payment method. In case of course cancellation or midway abandonment, account limits can be restored again according to refund regulations, but caution is required as disadvantages may occur if expelled due to unauthorized absence.

        Guide to Main Usage Locations and Enrolled Training Courses for the National Tomorrow Learning Card<\/h2>\n

        The National Tomorrow Learning Card is a lifelong capability development support card that any Korean citizen who wants to work or enhance their capabilities, such as office workers, job seekers, and self-employed individuals, can use usefully. However, even after being issued the card, if you do not know the specific usage locations and courses where and what training can be taken, its utilization tends to drop. We will introduce in detail the main usage locations and popular training courses that can be taken at official training institutions approved by the Ministry of Employment and Labor.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. How to Check and Search Official Usage Locations for the National Tomorrow Learning Card<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          The National Tomorrow Learning Card cannot be used at just any academy; payment and enrollment are only possible at officially certified institutions that have received a training suitability judgment from the Ministry of Employment and Labor.
          \nUsing the Employment24 (HRD-Net) portal: By accessing the [Training Course Search] menu on the official Employment24 website or mobile app, you can check in real time offline academies and online remote training institutions nationwide where the card can be used by region and field.
          \nChecking the training institution certification mark: Before registering for an academy, you must check whether the institution is an excellent training institution certified by the Ministry of Employment and Labor or an institution where the National Tomorrow Learning Card can be used to prevent unfair payments or disadvantages.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Types of Major Online and Offline Training Courses Available for Enrollment<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            In keeping with the digital transformation era, a wide variety of courses are open, ranging from professional certifications that can be immediately deployed to practical work to basic job competencies.
            \nIT and computer practical courses:
            \nCourses for acquiring certifications such as basic office utilization like Excel, PowerPoint, and Hangul, as well as Computer Literacy (Grade 1 and 2), computerized accounting, and computerized tax accounting, which are essential specs for office workers, are the most popular.
            \nProfessional technical education for job transition and professional capability enhancement in IT jobs such as web publisher, front-end development, data analysis, and Python programming is also actively operated.
            \nOffice administration and professional certification courses:
            \nVarious professional qualification preparation courses are open, such as Financial Manager, Computerized Accounting Application Specialist, Hospital Coordinator, and Interior Architecture Design, which develop corporate financial management and accounting practical skills.
            \nIn addition to offline academies, various online remote training courses that office workers can take at home after work are supported to reduce time constraints.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Expansion of Usage Locations in K-Digital Training and New Industry Fields<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              To respond to the rapidly changing industrial structure and foster talent in high-tech and new industry fields, the government operates specialized courses that provide more unconventional benefits than general courses.
              \nHigh-tech and digital new technologies: Practical training courses in promising future industrial fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, internet of things (IoT), smart manufacturing, and semiconductor design can be taken with the National Tomorrow Learning Card.
              \nAdditional support benefits: Courses in new industry fields such as K-Digital Training are often cited as very effective usage locations for majors or job seekers preparing for a career transition, as they offer benefits close to full training cost support or provide additional separate training allowances.

              Practical Sequence from Course Application to Payment for the National Tomorrow Learning Card<\/h2>\n

              Once you have been issued the National Tomorrow Learning Card and checked your remaining limit, all that remains is to apply for and pay for the training course you actually want to learn. For those proceeding with course application for the first time, the procedure may seem unfamiliar, but if you proceed step-by-step through the Employment24 portal, anyone can complete it easily and accurately. We provide a detailed guide on the practical sequence from course application to self-payment settlement.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Step 1: Searching and Exploring Desired Training Courses on the Employment24 Portal<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                First of all, you must find an educational course that suits you through the official training portal.
                \nAccessing and logging in to Employment24 (HRD-Net): Access the PC website or mobile app, authenticate your identity, and log in.
                \nSearching for training courses: Go to [Training Course] > [National Tomorrow Learning Card Training Course] in the top menu.
                \nSetting conditions and searching: Set filters such as your residential region, training field (e.g., Computer Literacy, Computerized Tax Accounting, Financial Manager, etc.), and training type (online\/offline) to search for the desired course.
                \nChecking detailed contents of the training course: Carefully check the ‘training fee’ and ‘self-payment ratio’ indicated next to the course name, as well as the training period and timetable, before making the final decision on the course to take.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Step 2: Submitting Course Application for the Training Course<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  Once you have chosen the course you want to take, you can easily submit your application online.
                  \nClicking the course application button: Click the [Course Application] button at the bottom of the selected training course detail page.
                  \nEntering required information: Enter the necessary contents according to the application form format, such as motivation for application, contact information, and residence information.
                  \nSubmitting evidentiary documents (if necessary): General job seekers or workers do not need much separate documentation, but special support target groups (recipients of the Earned Income Tax Credit, participants in the Employment Success Package, etc.) may need to upload related evidentiary documents to receive self-payment exemptions or reductions.
                  \nApplication completion: Once the application is successfully received, you can check the processing status in ‘Course Application History’ on My Page. (Some popular courses are finalized after undergoing an approval review process by the training institution.)<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Step 3: National Tomorrow Learning Card Payment and Course Confirmation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    When you receive a course approval text message from the training institution or confirmation of approval is verified on My Page, you pay the self-payment amount and finish final registration.
                    \nSelf-payment method: The self-payment portion (out-of-pocket cost) excluding the government subsidy among the training costs can only be paid with the dedicated National Tomorrow Learning Card issued in your name.
                    \nPayment procedure methods:
                    \nIn the case of online training courses, immediate payment is possible with a credit card (Tomorrow Learning Card) in My Page on the Employment24 website.
                    \nIn the case of offline academies (collective training), you visit the academy before the opening date to make the payment or process it through the online payment link guided by the academy.
                    \nCourse confirmation: Once payment is completed, course registration is finally confirmed, and you can start entering the classroom or taking online lectures in accordance with the opening date.<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. Precautions for Course Cancellation and Refund<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      Cancellation before course opening: If you must give up taking the course due to unavoidable circumstances, requesting course cancellation through Employment24 or the training institution before the course opening date will fully restore your Tomorrow Learning Card account limit.
                      \nMidway abandonment after course opening: If you give up taking the course midway after the course opening date or are expelled due to unauthorized absence, disadvantages may occur where training fee subsidies are partially deducted or account limits are reduced, so you must carefully coordinate your schedule.

                      Payment Conditions and Precautions for Training Allowances (Training Incentives)<\/h2>\n

                      Did you know that when taking a training course through the National Tomorrow Learning Card, in addition to educational cost support, you can receive a neat training allowance (training incentive) if you meet the attendance rate condition? The training allowance, paid to enhance livelihood stability and learning motivation during the training period, is calculated in amount according to qualification requirements and attendance days. We provide a detailed guide on the payment conditions and precautions you must know to receive your training allowance without missing out.<\/p>\n

                        \n
                      1. Basic Conditions and Target Recipients for Training Allowance Payment<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                        It is not unconditionally paid to all trainees; the training allowance is deposited into your account only when you meet specific requirements set by the government.
                        \nSupport target criteria:
                        \nIt is paid to job seekers, participants in the Employment Success Package, and some workers who meet the requirements while taking training courses supported by the Ministry of Employment and Labor using the National Tomorrow Learning Card.
                        \nIn the case of general workers, when taking short-term courses such as weekend or night classes, they are often excluded from training allowance payment eligibility, or payments are made only when training hours exceed a certain standard (e.g., regulations by local government and course, such as 140 hours or more per month), so you must carefully check the training course in advance.
                        \nMandatory attendance rate condition (most important):
                        \nYou can receive the training allowance only if you achieve an attendance rate of 80% or higher during the entire training period.
                        \nIf your attendance rate falls below 80%, the training allowance for that month is not paid at all, making attendance management more important than anything else.<\/p>\n

                          \n
                        1. Payment Amount Calculation and Attendance Check Methods<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                          Maximum monthly payment amount:
                          \nIt varies depending on the type of training course and the program you participate in (National Employment Support System, etc.), and is generally differentially supported up to a maximum of 110,000 KRW to 300,000 KRW or more per month in proportion to the number of attendance days. (In the case of new industry and high-difficulty training courses such as K-Digital Training, training allowances may be set higher.)
                          \nAttendance check by unit period:
                          \nThe training allowance is not given all at once for the entire period, but is paid after review based on the attendance register every time a one-month ‘unit period’ ends.
                          \nWhen attending the training institution, you must accurately complete entry and exit attendance checks through the designated HRD-Net attendance app (mobile QR check-in) or the fingerprint scanner inside the academy. Please note that omissions in attendance checks can be processed as absences.<\/p>\n

                            \n
                          1. Precautions to Keep in Mind When Receiving Training Allowances<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                            Reduction criteria for tardiness, leaving early, and going out:
                            \nIf tardiness, leaving early, or going out occurs 3 times, it is calculated as 1 day of absence, which reduces your attendance rate and the final training allowance amount.
                            \nFraudulent reception prevention and penalty regulations:
                            \nProxy attendance or manipulating attendance checks through fraudulent methods even when you did not attend yourself clearly constitutes fraudulent reception.
                            \nIf fraudulent reception is detected, not only must you return the entire training allowance and training fees received so far, but you will also receive severe disadvantages such as the immediate suspension of National Tomorrow Learning Card usage and restrictions on participating in government-supported vocational training for a certain period in the future.
