Paid Teaching in Vietnam & Lifetime Job Placement Guarantee

The course has been really great - very practical, very useful, an excellent starting point for someone with very little teaching experience to build confidence and start enjoying teaching. I really enjoyed every single day of it - the teachers were great, very professional but also very much fun, the support staff is just super - working very efficiently and going out of their way to make the TESOL students' experience as nice as possible. And most importantly - I got a job even before the training was finished! Highly recommend the course to everyone considering a teach abroad program!

Doing my TEFL certification in Vietnam is something I would do again without hesitation. It has opened up my horizons after years of working in an office and a culture that is fascinating and beautiful. I now have the travel bug and would love to teach English in as many countries as I can! I was able to secure a job a week after my course ended in one of the best language schools in Ho Chi Minh City and this was down to the skills and experience I obtained on my TEFL course. I had never taught before let alone teach in a foreign country but now I work 20 hours a week and am able to save more than I ever did in the UK because of the low cost of living here. It wasn't easy for me to adjust to a different way of life but it has been completely worth it and I am now planning on staying here longer than I originally planned. So if you are wondering whether you should do it then all I can say is 'DO IT!' You won't regret it.

All in all, my time at TEFL Heaven in Ho Chi Minh City was thoroughly enjoyable and great value for money. I learnt a lot, met some great people and was genuinely impressed by the quality of the training and support staff. The actual school in Ho Chi Minh City was very safe and well organised, however I felt at times the surrounding environment of Go Vap district was a little dangerous. This was because of the constant, non-stop traffic which was extremely heavy at times and, as a result, just crossing the road proved somewhat challenging! The pollution was also extremely bad plus, I think, certain parts of the streets were definitely unsanitary thanks to the amount of chickens, ducks etc being kept on the roadside where they were allowed to sit in their own faeces before being killed for eating - the smell was horrendous. After completing my course in Vietnam, I am now looking forward to working in a language school just south of Hanoi which will provide free accommodation, help sort out my work visa and hopefully help me develop my English teaching skills to a higher level. None of this would have been possible without everyone involved at TEFL Heaven doing such a great job. Friendly, professional staff always willing to go the extra mile coupled with well structured course timetable all helped make my experience in Vietnam to be thought provoking, challenging and lots of fun. Well recommended.

This course provided me with a variety of opportunities that I would not have otherwise had. I really liked the fact that it was on-site because this gave me time not only to adjust to a new country but also to make invaluable connections with others in the course. I found the classes and instructors to be both very positive and welcoming. This course definitely gave me the tools and confidence that I needed in order to become a teacher in Ho Chi Minh City.

The course gave me as a beginner in the teaching world to get involved in practical lessons first with peers and then students. throughout the course we also went through some of the methods and structures that work best with certain ages/abilities and gained confidence. Very rewarding. I really enjoyed the TEFL Heaven Vietnam program, It gave everyone on the course the opportunities to find work here in Vietnam and helped out any first time teachers to get their foot in the door. I recommend this course if you love to travel and want to work whilst on the move. The work was pretty much guaranteed after the course and had a bit of a choice with what jobs you would like(age/level etc) and an a accredited TEFL cert is good for most jobs here.

There are a few things about the course that could be improved - there is not a lot of focus on the academic side of English and it is mostly practical. Although the best thing about this course is the practical element (teaching practices). I feel it could be slightly better balanced. The staff were very helpful and i felt very safe and well supported. Overall I enjoyed the course and i left feeling ready and prepared to teach. I was very nervous about public speaking before so and in class course as opposed to an online course to me, was crucial. For me the best thing about doing a TEFL course is I now have job opportunities all over the world, which i didn't have before!

I really enjoyed this course and would recommend it to anyone thinking of training in TESOL. Great course, I felt I was given essential information for teaching and I am now confident teaching all ages when previously I had no teaching experience at all. It was great to meet the people on my course, make great friends and great memories. Vietnam is beautiful, I am currently living in Ha Long, if you don't know it Google away people and if you are anything like me be prepared to fall in love! HCMC is a bustling, busy, crazy city, be prepared to walk slowly across roads while the motorbikes roar and swerve around you carry, everything from pig carcasses to fridge freezers. This is a huge city and the centre has everything that you would expected from a multicultural city. And I can't finish without mentioning the food, the guide books aren't exaggerating about he street food etc. it is so... good!! And the Vietnamese people are so friendly and helpful, you will come to Vietnam for the course but you will stay in the country because you fall in love with it. The course was great :) The accomadation with the course was in a hotel and this was a nice spacious room with a double bed which was comfortable for a month. I also had a job with 9 days of finishing my course in the area I had wanted to live in. The support while in Vietnam was very good, the course teacher was always happy to help with anything, whether it was concerning the course or aspects of living in Ho Chi Minh city. I have not given 4 out of 5 sars because it would have been helpful to have some better advice and information in the lead up to travelling to Vietnam.

This course is good value for money. You will step into your first paid job feeling like you're prepared for anything. The 7 obligatory teaching practices help you deal with your nerves and make you feel like you are prepared for anything. Overall this course is invaluable in terms of preparing you to teach English to foreign students. I was considering completing an online TEFL course and then coming to Vietnam to try and find a job but that would've been a big mistake as most schools don't even recognize online certifications. You will make friends during the course who you will stay with for your time in Vietnam and you will receive ongoing support from with things like CV writing and job searching. Vietnam is the place to be for English teachers, it pays more favourably than other countries and there are an abundance of jobs. You will have no trouble what so ever finding a job. The main benefit of this course is the job guarantee upon completion. Within 2 weeks I landed a job at one of the top schools in Vietnam earning just under $20 an hour and working 25 hours a week. This alone I think is worth the money

Overall the course was a great experience that could not have prepared you enough for entering the world of teaching English in Vietnam. If you have been thinking about teaching in Vietnam come and do it! The Vietnamese people are some of the nicest people that I have veer met. I have never felt so welcome before. They wave to you and say hello to you walking down the street, and even offer you food and drink. The cost of living compared to your monthly wage here is a big bonus and you will be able to save at least $600 per month is you are earning the average wage. I would highly recommend this course to anyone considering coming out here and teaching. This course is great as it provides you with many benefits. One being the hands on experiences with Vietnamese students that you get during the course. Another is the guaranteed job you get at the end. I secured a job within one week of finishing the course, you can't get better than that! The course tutors are brilliant. They are extreamly experienced and knowledgable in this field and they share their skills and knowledge with you during the course. I really do think this course has the best tutors about.

Overall I had a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend this to anyone! In summary all aspects of the course met and exceeded my expectations. I felt fully supported during the whole experience, and met some amazing people. I love my new job and life in HCMC. The accommodation provided was fantastic and was a great was to settle in to , and explore, a new city. The guaranteed job benefit was fantastic as it meant there was no stress to start looking for jobs straight away, and I was found a job that I love within two weeks of completing the course. The support was brilliant both before, during and after the course. Any questions or concerns that I had (no matter how small) were immediately answered. In country there was loads of support, for example airport pickup and help when I got sick.

Overall, I would recommend this course to people who want to meet friends in their new host country and to adjust to the new culture while becoming TEFL certified. This course set me up to start my career in TEFL, and I had my first job within weeks after completing it. I was very happy to have the in class teaching hours under my belt, because this experience gave me a confidence that many new teachers lack. Finally, doing my TEFL course in my host country of Vietnam helped me to adjust to my new surroundings with the support of like-minded new friends... we did it together! Now 8 months later, I'm still teaching and can honestly say it's been once of the best choices I've ever made! The hotel that I stayed in was literally right across from the school, so from that respect it very safe, and easy to access. However, the area where the school is located is VERY local, which although it might not have been unsafe, it did make me really overwhelmed and at times, uneasy. I would suggest arriving a week or two early to Vietnam and travelling or staying in District 1 in the backpacker area while you get over the culture shock. This will make things like crossing the road in crazy traffic easier and less dangerous when it comes time to do the course. As promised, this course offered TEFL knowledge, in class teaching experience and guidance along the way! All of the resources I needed were provided to me. Although I did not take the job that I was provided with after the course because it didn't suit my wants and needs. The staff at this school are very supportive and responsive. They always returned my messages instantly and met any concerns I had in a timely manner.
