Good Black dont crack babes

Are you serious. So teaching in Vietnam is still pretty good?

I knew someone in China who was teaching under the table without a work visa. Eventually he was caught, arrested, fined, deported, and banned from returning to China. The school was also fined and put under scrutiny.

@@bradycunningham1267 yeah 👍

The CELTA is very Eurocentric, has not been updated for many years, focuses on adult teaching (despite some claiming otherwise) and the teaching practicum is with adult learners. Our course is contextually relevant to the market in Asia, regularly updated, has a large focus on teaching young learners (which is 90% of the market in Vietnam) and the teaching practicum includes classes with young learners as well as adults in real schools in Vietnam. We also provide additional pre-departure and in-country support when moving to Vietnam, such as in-country orientation, events etc which the CELTA doesn't. We have a good reputation with the top schools in Vietnam and our graduates get job offers from these schools. I won't make any claims about which is preferred which we can't substantiate, but in my experience first-time teachers will be offered similar salaries coming off our course as a CELTA, so I'd make your decision based on which one you believe suits your goals better. Hope that helps!

@@ninja.teacher helps a ton thanks for the response 🙏

Hi. Have you made it to Vietnam and did you manage to get a job faster? I’m also considering going but I’ve also heard it’s been difficult landing a decent job lately

The vast majority of work in Vietnam is with young learners so it can be challenging to secure full time employment with adults.

@@ninja.teacher thanks for the info!

We offer discounted rates for those who have taken an online TEFL to upgrade to our in-person training with job placement in Vietnam. We don't offer any programs for assisting people with securing online teaching work though - that market is a quite saturated.

We offer a discounted rate on our Vietnam TEFL Program for those who have already completed a TEFL. It involves pre-departure guidance, in-country orientation, in-class training, teaching practicum and guaranteed job placement. We used to offer a stripped down job placement program but it wasn’t viable - we need the whole month to get people job ready so that we can guarantee a teaching job. Feel free to get in touch and have a chat with a member of our team to learn more about it: ninjateacher.com

​@@ninja.teacher Same exact level of service just at a discounted rate? Which TEFL courses qualify?

You'd fly to Vietnam then send out your resume once you're here, then set up in-person interviews once schools get back to you. Schools usually do reply within a few days if you're in-country, ready to start and they have openings. It's best to focus one city like HCMC / Hanoi with this route. We aren't running our fast track anymore for the time being, as it was difficult to pack all the training into a 2 week program, and it's harder to guarantee results for people who took online TEFLs with varying degrees of quality. That's why we're now offering a discounted rate for anyone who's taken an online TEFL to upgrade to our 4 week Vietnam TEFL Program so that we can help with all the documents, in-country orientation, classroom training, teaching practicum and guaranteed job placement.

You can get a 5 year visa exemption but are still required to get a work permit (which requires a degree) to work legally and so most schools still require a degree to hire foreign teachers.

Yes on notarization and verification. And I am in the middle of this process now. I was teaching in China previously and just accepted a position in Vietnam and I start next month. Process is very similar, Vietnam is a bit less... extreme than China in the verification. Probably because they don't assume all foreigners entering the country are dangerous spies.

You can increase your salary with more experience. You need authenticated copies of your degree, TEFL and police check for a work permit application.

@@fs5775 China worried westerns are "Dangerous spies", now thats ironic ha ha

@@fs5775 nice reply. what is easier? I'm thinking my degree and tesol are already notarized and authenticated by my home country plus the chinese authentication. do i just need to go to the vietnam embassy to get their authentication on the same docs? what kind of school did you get and how is the salary compared to the average? I would like to continue being a homeroom teacher. I was in kindergarten. I would add in masters in teaching and teach primary if it is worth it.

@@spaniardxxxiii2801 I'm teaching university and my employer has an agent who's taking care of notarization & authentication so I don't know too many of the details, sorry. I just know the process has been much quicker and easier for Vietnam and I even had an agent with China too. Each country needs to do their own process of authentication & verification. But the process for both countries is similar. They don't care my docs have been verified by China. They want them verified by Vietnam now (degree certificate, previous employment letter, police check, medical test, passport pages)

The retirement age in Vietnam is 60 for men and 55 for women so typically you need to be below that age to get a work permit to work legally in Vietnam.

It’s uncommon, as it takes time to onboard and bring new teachers up to speed so they offer longer term contracts.
