TEFL Training Center
The training center in Vietnam is located in Ho Chi Minh City on the southern coast. Facilities include office space, classrooms, computers with high-speed Internet access, and plug-ins for laptops. The four-story building also houses a kitchen with fridge so that TEFL trainees can bring lunch or snacks, although there are a number of good and inexpensive restaurants near the center.
A unique feature of this TEFL program is the opportunity to spend the first eight days of training in Phnom Penh, Cambodia in a joint session with trainees from Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam. A tour of Phnom Penh is included, and you will also have the option to participate in an excursion to the Angkor Wat temple in northern Cambodia, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. After the joint training session, trainees will return to Ho Chi Minh for the remainder of their program. Transportation is included for trainees traveling between Vietnam and Cambodia.
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh City is the heart and soul of Vietnam. The largest city in the country is a bustling center of industry, economy, culture and cuisine. Much of the city’s life takes place on the streets—a jumble of markets, shops, cafes, stands-on-wheels and sidewalks layered with vendors’ wares. It's impossible not to catch the exhilarating vibe: Ho Chi Minh is a dynamic, wildly energetic combination of native heritage, French cultural influence, and Western capitalism.
Still referred to as "Saigon" today, modern Ho Chi Minh also retains the timeless traditions and beauty of an ancient culture. As a TEFL trainee or teacher based in Ho Chi Minh, you will witness a mix of the old and new where modern skyscrapers are juxtaposed with fading colonial buildings, Chinese-style pagodas, historical landmarks, and a multitude of shrines and temples.
Teaching English
in Vietnam
 |
The thriving nation of Vietnam is composed of more than 80 million people and possesses one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. As globalization and financial growth expand opportunities and education within the country, English language instruction is becoming a valuable and demanded asset. Certified TEFL teachers in Vietnam receive a very good salary, and thanks to an extremely low cost of living, you can live very comfortably and perhaps even save money. As an added bonus, you may find some English schools that provide housing for their EFL teachers.
Teaching jobs are readily available in Vietnam’s largest metropolis Ho Chi Minh City, the eastern sea port city of Da Nang, and the cultural capital, Hanoi. In addition, TEFL positions can often be found in smaller cities and towns throughout the country. English students in Vietnam range from adults and university students to children in public schools.

| “I'm so glad that I made the decision to come [to Vietnam]. I've got a job at a great language center and I really like working here and I'm meeting great people, both through [the TEFL training center] and through my job and guesthouse. I feel like I've been very lucky, my Vietnam experience has been great! On a final note, I want to take a moment to say how great the [training center staff] here in Vietnam has been. [They] worked so hard to find us jobs and make sure we were comfortable and happy.” |
