Vietnam has been on the top of the TESOL list for ages. It’s a mecca for young, adventurous travellers making the most of life. These travellers become friends for life as they explore their new home. As a traveller in Vietnam – no two days are the same!
When you get your TESOL certification in-country – and then stay on at a teaching position at one of our partners across the country – you’ll have this entire country (and its enticing neighbours) waiting to be explored.
One day you could be discovering the secret side alleys and amazing cuisine of Hanoi. The next you’re on a boat ride to the island paradise of the Cat Ba islands. And the next you’re partying with a group of happy travellers at a hostel in Hoi An (after you’ve ordered a bespoke suit or evening gown – a must in Hoi An).
Wherever you go and whatever you do in Vietnam – the weather will be warm and fine, everything is cheap, the food is delicious, and everyone (locals and travellers alike) seem to be happy.
No wonder everyone wants to teach English in Vietnam!
But this isn’t just a trip to Vietnam. It’s an opportunity for you to get a professional certification that gives you a meaningful occupation. With a local income that will help you fund your travels and live comfortably.
Speaking of income, Vietnam has some of the highest earning potential for English teachers of all the countries in South East Asia.
You’ll enjoy plenty of job security because there are loads of people out there who can’t speak English but want, and need, to learn it.
But – there are also loads of English speakers chasing the dream of living abroad while teaching English. Since 97% of people pass their TESOL – competition for these positions can be fierce.
Which is why we keep our intake groups small. That way we can give you the attention you need to become a paid English teacher in Vietnam as quickly and easily as possible.
And here’s the best part: Over 95% of Global Travellers are placed in teaching positions within a fortnight of passing their TESOL. We help you land interviews at language institutes across Vietnam before you finish your course or soon thereafter.
If you decide to go further afield, your TESOL qualification is globally recognised - especially one completed in-country.
We offer the complete package for teaching overseas. Our team will help you with the essentials you need to start your new journey with a bang! Including helping you find accommodation, visa assistance, a range of exciting cultural activities, and so much more.
You could do this by yourself and leave a lot to chance. It will take much longer and you’ll be competing with every other traveller trying to live the life of an English teacher.
Or you could let us take care of the essentials so you can focus on living your best life.
If you want to gain international work & travel experience with a lifetime of employment options – a TESOL qualification is the way to go.
If you want to live in one of the most popular countries for English teachers (for good reason) – Vietnam is the place to be.
If you want to live in Vietnam while you’re getting your TESOL, with the option to stay on at a paid teaching position, book today.
Relax in modern twin or triple-share accommodation, located in Ho Chi Minh City and close to your training, for the duration of your TESOL course.
Travel alone but never lonely with Social! An exclusive social network inside our gWorld app to talk, share & meet-up with other Global Travellers in your region, with a dedicated Community Manager.
Gain access to an ever-growing range of skills & languages to learn before & whilst you travel.
Just in case it’s not clear already, we’re not an employment or recruitment agency. Read more

Our Teach English trips are designed to get you set up in your new life overseas as smoothly as possible. Our goal is to save you time, money, and stress while eliminating the risk of returning home early. Here’s how we do it:
We’re on your side from the moment you get started. You’ll be assigned a Dedicated Trip Coordinator to guide you through the next steps and answer all your questions. Our team is well travelled so you can learn from our experience.
Your Personal Travel Concierge will help with flights, insurance, visas, and any add-ons you’d like for your trip. These are real humans too – no robots here.
When you arrive at the airport, your private transfer will be waiting to take you to your accommodation in Ho Chi Minh City. You’ll be staying in a modern twin or triple-share accommodation in the city close to your training school for the length of your TESOL course.
During your first week we have a bunch of cultural activities planned to help you slot into life in your new home. These activities include a Vietnamese martial arts class, a cooking class to learn the basics of the delicious cuisine, and a visit to the Cu Chi tunnels and War Remnants Museum.
Your orientation week finishes off with a welcome dinner for all the TESOL alumni and teachers.
More often than not, people are offered a paid teaching position (earning about $1200 – $2000 a month) before they even finish their course. In the rare cases this doesn’t happen – as long as you graduated from your TESOL – our local partners won’t stop until you have a paid teaching position confirmed.
But our support doesn’t end there. We’ll be in touch during your trip to make sure everything is going smoothly. If you have any questions or concerns we’re one quick message, DM, email, or carrier pigeon away.
And if there’s an emergency, you can use our 24/7 emergency support lines for anything urgent.
We’re with you every step of the way.
To qualify for this trip, you must be between the ages of 21 and 55, be a citizen of an eligible country, and have no criminal convictions in the last 5 years.
Flights, travel insurance, food, visa, criminal background check, souvenirs, and spending money.

Covid-19 threw us a curve ball and pretty much halted all travel. This means that we have a backlog of travellers, just like you, who are desperate to get out and explore the world! Global Work & Travel works on a first-in-best-dressed basis. Booking earlier ensures that you don’t miss out on the best intake, season, placements and more! We recommend our travellers take 6-12 months to plan their trip for a reason - to make sure you’ve got everything organised perfectly, stress-free.

Why not give yourself something to look forward to by booking that trip!
Yes you can! Simply tell your Trip Coordinator after booking that your friend is also going and they can link your profiles. For most of our trips we should be able to have you and your friends placed together or nearby. Meaning that you can live, work, play & travel together!
But wait there's more! Not only can you travel the world with your besties at your side, you can also earn some extra cash towards your own trip just by referring your friends to Global Work & Travel. You can learn more about the great referral rewards program inside your gWorld account once you join.
And for those who decide to go-it-solo, we’ve made it easier to meet other Global Travellers in the same region as you. Just like any other social platform, you’ll be able to interact, share, chat and meet with some really cool people who are doing trips just like you!
If you have to make any changes to your departure date, you’re protected with our Lifetime Deposit Guarantee and our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility. With this, we will change your trip dates for free. If this doesn’t fit around you and you can’t go on your trip anymore, we will give you a 100% refund in the form of a Trip Credit with us (See terms). If you’re unable to use it, you can also transfer that credit to someone else for them to put towards any trip too.
If you’re affected by Covid-19 while you’re overseas, you will have all the support you need from our team or partners in-country as well as have access to our 24/7 Global Emergency Line. We recommend travellers purchase Global Travel Cover travel insurance that provides Covid-19 medical protection too.
As border restrictions for countries begin to ease, being fully vaccinated will maximise the number of locations you can visit. So while you are not legally required to be vaccinated, and it’s also not a requirement to travel with us, it will limit some of the countries that you can visit and may make it harder to travel through over the next 12-18 months. We highly recommend our travellers look at the current travel restrictions of their destination, speak with a medical professional or get in touch with our team for travel advice.
Our Ultimate Corona Booking Flexibility means you can change your trip’s start date up to 84* days before departure without incurring any charges when you rebook it for any time (or even any other trip) in the next 2 years from your original start date.
In the event that you want to cancel your booking altogether, if you give us over 84* days notice you can do so with only a 50% cancellation fee. Your refund of the balance will come in the form of a Store Credit which you can put towards booking absolutely anything travel related with your Travel Concierge within the next 2 years!
*Some select trips excluded, including Teach (Spain, Italy & Czech Republic) and USA (Summer Camp, Working Holiday and Hotel Professional), and others as listed in Booking Conditions.
