So people understand the basics when it comes to their car, but when it comes to computers â€" which are just as essential to their jobs/schooling â€" they have no idea. Why is this okay? Welcome to the life of tech support.

To begin with these can vary but a technical qualification that proves you understand and can repair and maintain computers will get you in at the entry level. More specific qualifications can usually be obtained from within the company which usually trains IT's staff for the equipment they use.

The big companies may want a degree in computing before they will consider employing an IT technician but this is not necessary for mo st companies. Training is usually on going.

Answer by mccoyblues
A Technical Certificate won't be enough to get you a job in a foreign country. You'll need a BS in Computer Science from a top level school to get started. You will also need to know fluent Korean. You will also need to obtain a work VISA to get a job in any foreign country and that isn't an easy task. Local governments don't like foreigners coming in and taking highly skilled jobs away from the locals.
