CHUNGDAHM has earned a reputation for having the finest instructors and teaching methods. Initial training ensures instructors are well-versed in the methodology, structure, and expectations of the classroom. All instructors are required to receive up to one week of initial training at one of CHUNGDAHM's corporate training centers prior to their first day of class.
Teachers have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and gain feedback and support from their trainers and fellow trainees. For individuals with limited or no teaching experience, initial training will provide a strong foundation for growth and development. At the same time, seasoned professionals gain first-hand knowledge of how the methodology for ESL in Korea is unique.
The CHUNGDAHM training center is comprised of experienced and professional teachers who are dedicated to ensuring an optimal environment for both students and instructors.

Instructors will receive additional on-the-job training and support as needed. Instructors may need to attend informational meetings with their Faculty Managers and/or Head Instructors to receive helpful feedback and tips as they build their experience at CHUNGDAHM. Workshops are also held throughout an academic term to help instructors further develop and share their teaching ideas with peers and training staff.
CHUNGDAHM will also assist the instructor with more practical concerns. The staff at each campus will help instructors with matters such as registering with the Ministry of Education, opening a bank account, learning the bus and subway system, and paying bills. Instructors will find that they are provided with the support and feedback necessary to make their stay in Korea a comfortable and memorable experience.
A CHUNGDAHM Certificate (CDC) is given to all those who successfully complete training. Because it is valid for three months, one can complete training and receive CHUNGDAHM training up to three months before the start of employment, allowing instructors time to explore Korea, before they begin teaching.
