Hybrid TESOL Course
Complete the theory online, then finish in Phnom Penh or Ho Chi Minh City with a supported in-class practicum.

Overview
The Hybrid TESOL program at AVSE delivers the same comprehensive course content as the In-Class TESOL option, but in a more flexible format. You complete Modules 1 to 11 online, then travel to Phnom Penh or Ho Chi Minh City for Modules 12 to 17 — a nine-day, supported in-class block that includes a 12-hour supervised practicum and nine nights’ accommodation.
Hybrid TESOL suits people who want to start training remotely and keep work or personal commitments on track, while still completing meaningful classroom practice before pursuing ESL teaching roles. The program includes a Government–regulated TESOL certification, one-on-one trainer guidance throughout, and hands-on job support after graduation.

Eligibility
Eligibility to enrol in Hybrid TESOL
Hybrid TESOL is suitable for people aged 18+ who can study independently online and travel to Phnom Penh or Ho Chi Minh City for the nine-day practicum block. To be considered for enrolment, applicants must generally be able to:
- Communicate effectively in English, with skills at upper-intermediate to advanced levels
- Commit to completing the online theory components of the TESOL course before travelling to Cambodia or Vietnam for the practicum
- Meet international travel entry requirements for Cambodia or Vietnam
AVSE reviews applications to confirm eligibility and provide written guidance before a place is confirmed.

Cambodia (general requirements)
- Government-regulated TESOL/TEFL/CELTA qualification — original document
- Provide a criminal background check from their home country, issued within the past six months — original document

- Government-regulated TESOL/TEFL/CELTA qualification — original document
- Recognised university degree — original document
- Provide a criminal background check from their home country, issued within the past six months — original document
