Exam questions and official answer keys for 37 national professional certifications are now available for commercial use and private educational content production, as long as the source is credited. The scope of public data disclosure has also been expanded to allow the materials to be used for AI training and analysis.

The Human Resources Development Service of Korea said Tuesday it had applied the "Public Nuri Type 1" license to exam papers and final answer keys for the 37 certifications starting in April, and added an "AI license" designation in August.

The Public Nuri Type 1 license permits commercial use, modification and adaptation of materials, and the creation of derivative works, provided the source is cited. The AI license allows public data to be used for purposes including AI training and analysis.

The agency has long made exam papers and answer keys for national professional certifications publicly available through Q-Net, its certification information website. It is now expanding access by making the materials searchable through the Public Nuri website as well, in line with broader public data disclosure efforts.

According to the agency, the released exam materials are already being used in a range of private educational and study products, including online question banks, mobile learning apps, e-books and AI-powered commentary services. The Type 1 license has enabled the reprocessing of exam materials and their use in commercial services, while the addition of the AI license has extended that scope to AI applications.

The agency said it plans to continue strengthening public services to broaden the reuse of public works in educational and learning content as well as AI-based services.

"We hope the opening of national professional certification public data will benefit many people," said Lee Byung-hoon, president of the agency. "We will continue to drive service innovation that people can feel in their daily lives."
