TEFL Courses & Certification in Vietnam

Ho Chi Minh City (formerly Saigon) and Hanoi offer the highest volume of teaching jobs in Vietnam, so you’ll find plenty of TEFL programs in both locations. Though two very different cities, both offer a good expat community, music scene, and enough to do to keep busy.

Ho Chi Minh City is more cosmopolitan and overall much bigger than Hanoi. There is a pretty good bus system too, although most foreigners use a motorbike. The nightlife in Ho Chi Minh City is the most extensive in the country providing individuals who teach in Vietnam with ample opportunities to meet locals and experience their nightlife culture. Hanoi is smaller and more laid back, especially in regards to going out, with a standard midnight curfew spanning the city.

There are also TEFL courses in Vietnam’s smaller towns, such as Da Nang, rural areas, and mid-sized cities, such as Hai Phong.
