Hello, Is it possible to teach English in Vietnam with only a TEFL certificate with prior teaching experience? Is a degree absolutely necessary? Any advice? Thank you

Hello brynicole, and welcome to expat.com.


Yes, it is possible to teach English here without a university degree. It requires confirmation of a minimum of 5 years teaching experience.


The application for a work permit is submitted by the employer, after accepting you as an employee.

Yes it all depends on the school. I have a school looking for Native english speakers if you would like to consider submitting your resume. No degree required, experience helpful. Feel free to message me if you're interested.
