TEFL Course, Internship Prep Course & 5-month internship!
There are plenty of opportunities to socialise with the rest of the teachers: because there’s so many of us, you never find yourself alone, which is actually really nice. There’s always someone who’s up for doing what you would like to do, whether that’s drinking or just chilling.

Trip details
Before arrival
Before jetting off to Vietnam you'll learn how to teach English as a foreign language as part of your 120 hour TEFL course and Internship Prep Course. Once you've completed your courses, you'll have the skills you need to excel in your Vietnamese school!
Day 1
Getting there
Travel to Hanoi airport and a member of our partners will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel. You'll be staying here with the other teachers for your orientation week.
Day 2 - 8
Welcome to Vietnam!
Your orientation week is a great chance to get to grips with the city that will be your home for the next few months. Meet the other teachers over a welcome meal, learn about Vietnamese culture and history - you might even pick up some basic Vietnamese to tide you over! Enjoy an interesting tour around Hanoi – the perfect chance to get some expert tips.
Day 9 - 146
Your teaching experience
Now it’s time to put your TEFL learning to the test! Your 5 month teaching experience gives you an amazing chance to get rewarding hands-on teaching experience in a Vietnamese school.
You’ll be teaching learners of all ages - from 4 to 18 years old (and in some cases adults), so there is plenty of opportunity to make the teaching experience count. Your monthly living allowance of US$800 (£570) is really generous, and will enable you to live comfortably during your internship. You’ll share comfortable accommodation with other teachers (though you might not teach at the same school as them), and there will either be a school canteen or easy access to street food stalls.
Your free time is yours to spend as you please, so we recommend getting out there and exploring the local area – check out temples, take a boat trip, and gorge on some of the delicious, affordable street food that Vietnam’s famous for.
Day 146
After teaching
After your teaching experience you’ll get your completion bonus, and it’s up to you how to spend your time. Why not explore the rest of Vietnam? Or if you want to carry on teaching in Asia there are many opportunities that our partners can advise you on.
