Vietnam offers good salaries for first-time teachers. With much lower living costs than the US, Europe or Australia, many teachers find they can live comfortably, enjoy their free time, experience all that Vietnam has to offer – and even save money.

It’s a great way to build your teaching experience, earn a solid income, and discover a different pace of life – all at the same time.

Vietnam Makes it Easy to Live Well While You Teach

Vietnam is one of the most popular places in the world to start teaching English – and it’s easy to see why. Teachers are in demand, the cost of living is low, and the quality of life is high. You can eat well, travel often, and still have something left to save.

You can teach in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, where you’ll find vibrant street life, amazing food and nightlife, and large, friendly communities of fellow teachers.

There are plenty of teaching opportunities in smaller cities and rural towns and villages across the country too.

Many schools in Vietnam only hire teachers if they’re already in the country, so you’ll be in a strong position when applying for jobs.

Why enrol through School of TEFL? A Personal Note

I started School of TEFL because I know what it’s like to look at TEFL courses and wonder who to trust — or whether it’s even the right step. When I started out, I wanted straight answers, real support, and a course that would actually prepare me for the classroom.

That’s what we offer here.

When you enrol through School of TEFL, you’ll take the same accredited course delivered by our partner, Ninja Teacher. We’ll guide you through the application process, answer your questions honestly, and make sure you feel confident before you commit.

You’ll also have ongoing support from people who’ve done this themselves, and optional access to our Grammar Course is included at no extra cost.

We aren’t a big corporate operation. We’re a small, friendly team – and we’ll treat you like a person, not a sale.

If you’ve read this far, you’re probably serious about making a change. I’d love to help you work out whether this is the right next step for you.

Accredited Certification

The course you’ll take through Ninja Teacher is accredited by ACCREDITAT, an independent international accreditation body specialising in TEFL and TESOL training.

Accreditation involves an external review of the course content, teaching standards, assessment procedures, tutor qualifications and quality-assurance processes.

This gives you the reassurance that your training has been independently assessed against established TEFL/TESOL standards, and you’ll graduate with an accredited TEFL certificate for your teaching career in Vietnam and beyond.

We’ll Help You Find Your First Teaching Job

You won’t be left to figure things out on your own.

In Vietnam, Ninja Teacher will support you through every step of the job search, from preparing your CV and practising for interviews, to connecting you with schools that are actively hiring.

Graduates who stay in Vietnam often find teaching work within a few weeks of completing the course.
