[August 22, 2019] Gogokid recently announced changes to its application process for prospective teachers. The updated application process will come into effect for teachers who apply after August 22, 2019.

Previously, the steps were:

The new process has expanded the Orientation section to include a One-to-Many Live Training Session and a One-on-One Mock Class Training Session.
