early the course very hard Study is not difficult

deeper the course, weaker the strength But students’ health is good For Team Project duration(Can concentrate the Project)

Professor and Instructor

Professor(Korean) University or Government do not pay their

salary Their expanses are filled with their own Supported by Korean families or supporters They work with a sense of duty

100 years before Korean-Chinese ancestors helped Korea’s independence

Professor and Instructor

Instructor(Chinese) University pays the half($200)

Academy makes up with half

They are alumni Their Performances were top They have experiences working at companies They also have a sense of duty

Helping others are good Work for IT Education Center Localization
