In short, it’s where locals go to relax, soak up the sea breeze, and indulge in seafood feasts.

HOW IT WORKS
The Program
If there’s one thing for sure, it’s that you should never have to pay to work. And with us you won’t have to; but, to be able to offer the support, guidance, training, and resources we’re known for, we require all participants to pay a program service fee.
Program Fee
You’ll need a TEFL before you can start teaching in Vietnam. If you don’t have one, the fee will include a course and cost £530. If you do, this drops to £450.
Inclusions
The program fee includes support from the moment you apply to the end of your placement in getting a visa, finding a job, and settling in.
HOW IT WORKS

From application to arrival, the overall process will take around 3 months. It might sound scary but it needn’t – we’re here to walk you through the entire process, so you spend less time panicking and more time preparing. Here’s how it works:
