Ground course is like any other airline. All exams are required to passed with 80%
You will have to take an ATPL conversion checkide ( SIM - LPC), and if you are not successful, you
MAY be given another chance at company discretion.
There is a Company Checkride and Gov't (MOLIT) checkride. Company Checkride, if not successful, may be given again at company discretion. However the Gov't checkride is a 1-time event.

The airline provides materials during training and 5 days ground school to assist with passing the CAA (MOLIT) exam for the Korean Pilot License. If you are not successful on two (2) attemts, the company send you home to study more and if you want to try again, it will be at your own expense. However, if you are not successful, you will not be given another chance.

Training is rigorous, particularly for the Captains since some of the FO are not experience. The company rely heavily on the Captains for their experience. During line training, it has been emphasis the company is not too focus on Expats flying skills and experience (more secondary), but heavily on Asiana Procedures and Call-outs. Because of the language barriers that exist between Korean Pilots and Expats is the reason why I think they extensively hit hard on SOP and Call-outs. This is the "Common" language that MUST exist while operation as a crew for CRM. You will have 16-sectors (Training), 2-sectors (Company Check), and 2-sectors (Gov't Check)
