The demand for dynamic, qualified ESL teachers in Vietnam is extremely high. So high in fact that AICOL’s partner Language School in Vietnam, the Australia-Vietnam School of English (AVSE), offers an employment guarantee to graduates of the TESOL course held in Ho Chi Minh City.

The Australia-Vietnam School of English (AVSE) will work with you – side-by-side until you obtain your ideal teaching job. Throughout 2012, our success rate with placing graduates of the TESOL course in Ho Chi Minh City was 100% – with 95% of students commencing paid employment within 3 days of completing the course.

Native English speaking teachers earn an average of $15.00 per hour in Vietnam. Some teachers earn a bit less working in rural areas and others earn up to $25.00 per hour teaching English at Universities and Colleges and in the corporate sector. Most foreign teachers work between 25 and 35 hours per week. There are more teaching positions available than there are qualified teachers to fill the positions – many times over.

While the hourly rate of pay is important, it needs to be balanced against the cost of living. By any measure, Vietnam is cheap. Western-style accommodation is available for around US $240.00 per month. It’s possible to eat in a restaurant 3-times a day, 7-days a week – and have the occasional beer – but still have change from US $60.00.

World-wide job placement

Apart from teaching opportunities in Vietnam, all graduates of the AICOL TESOL Certificate course in Ho Chi Minh City are entitled to lifetime career support and hands-on assistance with securing a teaching job anywhere in the world. The lifetime career support initiative is delivered by the Australia-Vietnam School of English (AVSE) and includes:

• Personalised introductions to Language Schools in your chosen location;
• Professional formatting of your Curriculum Vitae;
• Professional cover letter;
• Written and verbal references;
• Distribution of your documentation; and
• Job preparation workshops.

As a graduate of the AICOL TESOL Certificate course in Ho Chi Minh City, you’ll hold an internationally recognised qualification that’s in high demand.  In addition, AVSE’s job placement program means your employment future is secure.
