Once settled in, you will begin your week-long Orientation program with other TEFL certified teachers from around the globe. This is a great time to explore the area with fellow teachers.

Orientation includes a visit to some of the country’s best known cultural landmarks – the Cu-Chi Tunnels and the War Remnants Museum. A visit to the night market in order to sample local delicacies, a Martial Arts Class, a Culture & Politics segment (to understand the country and people you will be working with), and a Vietnamese Language component (for basic communications, helpful phrases, ordering food etc.) will also take place during your Orientation.

Towards the end of the Orientation, our team will assist you in preparing your resume, demo video and scheduling interviews with schools. All our program participants work with either private or public schools located throughout the country, earning between $1,200 and $2,000 USD per month, which can make for a very comfortable lifestyle in Vietnam.

While most schools are located in or around the largest cities, such as Ho Chi Minh city and Hanoi, there are also many other options available all over the country.

Besides completing a 120 Hour TEFL, you will receive a letter of recommendation outlining the training you have received, and the teaching experience you have accumulated. This will go a long way when applying for future teaching positions anywhere in the world! Many of our graduates choose to travel throughout SE Asia after teaching and saving some money, while some may decide to stay in Vietnam and pick up a new TEFL position independently.
