Frequently Asked Questions
What is the relationship between APLs and APLCOLOR?
APLs is the parent corporation, while APLCOLOR is the B2C personal color analysis studio sub-brand serving individual clients.
How do I obtain the KCFB certification?
After completing the KCFB-accredited 4-day intensive course and passing the certification exam, you receive a unique credential number. Instructors holding the Korea National Colorist Engineer certification teach the course directly.
Is the service available outside Korea?
Yes. In addition to Busan and Seoul, we operate analysis and education programs in Osaka and Shanghai.
What makes APL's analysis different?
APL uses LS170 spectrophotometer-based LAB colorimetry. We provide objective analysis based on scientific data (13,000+ cases), not subjective draping alone.
What is the difference between national and private certification?
The Korea National Colorist Engineer (컬러리스트기사) is a government-issued qualification administered by HRD Korea, requiring a standardized national exam covering color science, colorimetry, and color application. Most personal color studios operate with private certificates self-issued by academies with no government oversight. APL's instructors hold the Colorist Engineer credential — the highest-level national color qualification — ensuring superior diagnostic accuracy and training quality.
