In South Korea, the NASE course first started this spring 2021. There are various approaches to teachers' training courses in our country and the NASE workshop is one important to making comprehensive programs for all levels of training courses. Each has a different character and expectation, and the NASE program is expanding our training course to comprehensive programs at various levels. The lecture on astronomy covering most areas of basic astronomy and the hands-on session with materials that students can easily access. In addition, the organizational operation and philosophy of NASE are delocalized and sustainable in their countries, so it will be helpful not only in astronomy perspectives but also in learning organizations.
