The city's Command directs units to carefully prepare materials and training grounds, ensure lesson plans and lectures have vivid diagrams, pictures, and illustrations associated with actively researching and applying science and technology to training. The organization strictly maintains the regular regimes and routines from the first hour, the first day, the first week, focusing on guiding soldiers to comply with the daily and weekly regimes, etiquette, forms of address, greetings, arranging internal hygiene order... During the training process, it is important to innovate training methods, strengthen inspections, focus on surprise inspections, cross-inspections and re-inspections of training, and resolutely implement solutions to overcome limitations... In addition, the regime of approving lesson plans and training cadres is also strictly and regularly maintained by units, especially the training of newly graduated cadres and CSM training framework cadres. The establishment of groups of teachers with in-depth expertise, flexible application of training methods suitable for CSM level, focusing on promoting the positivity, initiative and creativity of learners, promoting the role of 3-person groups in training... are important factors that determine training results.

From practice, the city's Command has drawn many active training methods and forms, such as visual training methods; problem-posing and problem-solving; situational training; training in groups of highly qualified soldiers so that learners can actively exchange, learn and grasp the overview of knowledge, thereby discovering and creatively applying it to the training process, overcoming the passivity of learners. Models such as: "One hour per week to study a legal document", "Application of information technology in testing and evaluating learning outcomes", "4 good units", "Model of training young officers", "Training teams" ... are maintained and promoted effectively.
