The Saemaul Undong Central Training Institute selected three goals: recruiting and training top-quality Saemaul Undong leaders, encouraging these leaders to engage in self-help programs, and contributing to the establishment of a beneficial system through diligence, self-help, and cooperation. To realize these goals, the institute finalized the following four guidelines.

 
- Education at a communal camp where trainees lived and worked alongside their trainers.
- Education of trainees of the Saemaul philosophy focusing on putting spiritual ideas into practice.
- Interactive education by sharing success stories during small-group discussions
- Offer continued guidance and assistance after trainees complete the program
 
The Saemaul training method incorporates several stages.

1) Perception of reality,
2) self-reflection, and
3) making resolutions for the future
4) Finally, trainees change their lifestyles by practicing what they have learned in their everyday lives
