ITA provides the tools and networks needed to move abroad successfully. Through ITA, I was able to connect to other like-minded individuals determined to live out their dreams as well. Their Facebook groups and class discussions were great places to link and prepare to move abroad.

Vietnam Placement Program Participant
Deciding to take the leap and teach English abroad has truly changed my life. Not only have I visited incredible places and tried new and interesting foods, I have met amazing people that I will be friends with for life. Living and teaching abroad has also opened my eyes to new ways of doing things, and provided a new daily lifestyle different to what I would be living at home. Teaching is also a great way to get to know the culture because you are actually living in and participating in the community, not just following a guidebook as a tourist. Your neighbors and co-workers aren't just locals anymore, they become your friends. Living in Vietnam, I have had many opportunities for personal, intellectual and professional growth, and I am so grateful for this experience!
Once accepted into this program, we will take care of every step of your job search process until youโve accepted your dream job. Once you begin teaching, you will continue to enjoy access to personalized 24/7 support to address any issues you have in your teaching position.

Most teaching jobs available through placement pay 1,400 to $1,600 per month (32 million Dong to 36 million Dong). That might not sound like a lot, but due to the low cost of living in Vietnam, most teachers are able to save up to $300 or more monthly after expenses. That goes a long way in Vietnam and neighboring countries given the low costs of living and travel.
The requirements to participate in our Teaching Abroad Program in Vietnam with Job Placement are:
*South Africans may be required to complete an English proficiency test & legalize it prior to departing. However, on a case-by-case basis. Non-native English speakers can be accepted but only from Europe due to immigration restrictions. They must have at least a C1 level of English to be placed in a paid teaching job. Must see an intro video at signup to confirm eligibility.
YES! If you meet the eligibility criteria and register for the program, we will guarantee you an ESL teaching position in Vietnam. With more than 100 carefully vetted schools in our network and demand for native-speaking English teachers at an all-time high, we guarantee you an ESL teaching position in Vietnam. We will strive to place you in a position that meets your preferences in areas like regional locations. It's important to note that preference matching cannot be guaranteed and depends on one's experience and local job market factors.
In Vietnam, most schools do not provide housing for teachers. However, as part of our end-to-end support, our team will assist you with finding suitable accommodations, including translating, negotiating, and troubleshooting. Accommodations during your initial orientation are included with the cost of your placement program.
We always aim to place spouses and friends in the same school, but when this is not possible, we will place friends and spouses in nearby schools so that you can live together. Insider tip: The more open you are with your preferences, the easier it will be for you to get placed at the same school.
Yes. In Vietnam, schools are hiring and recruiting English teachers year-round.
ITA's Job Search Guidance comes included with your TEFL course. It is a service designed to provide you with the resources you need to get a great TEFL job, including personalized assistance. It does not place TEFL-certified English teachers into specific jobs. For an additional fee, ITA's job placement programs provide a guaranteed English teaching job and salary range in Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, South Korea, or Japan.
