These training programs are designed by Saigon Co.op itself based on the system's many years of operating experience and a team of lecturers and experts with expertise and extensive experience from Saigon Co.op.

The professions of Supermarket Cashier and Supermarket Sales will be organized for recruitment and training based on the certificate of registration for vocational education activities issued by the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs of Ho Chi Minh City (now this function belongs to the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City).
