Study center of CELTA or TOSEL in HCM city

The TEFL International program in HCMC is your best bet.

The CELTA is a dated and hyperbole driven cash cow for Cambridge.  If you feel you must torture yourself though, APOLLO'S CELTA PROGRAM SHOULD BE AVOIDED AT ALL COSTS; BOTH HCMC AND HANOI!. 

I wouldn't consider ILA's either, which leaves Language Link as the remaining CELTA pusher in Vietnam.  I believe they only offer it in Hanoi, however.

PM me if you'd like to discuss it further.  I also have all of the resources you should have as an ESL teacher that I will gladly share, if you want them.

Give me a few days to research that and I'll give you an answer.

Hi Sumi,
I did the CELTA at Apollo two years ago and thought it was a great training program, especially since participants teach and get feedback from the trainers and other participants. I've also heard good things about the trinity certification.
You may want to contact schools you want to teach at and ask if they accept the TEFL international cert. Some schools prefer the CELTA or Trinity (RMIT, ACET, and of course ILA and Apollo) not sure about others though.
To get many prespectives, go to the forum forums.eslcafe.com/job/viewforum.php?f=14
Cheers,
Eric

Personal experiences may vary.  My experience with Apollo and the CELTA weren't very good.  I'm glad yours were much better Eric.

The vast majority of schools simply require that the course be at least 120 hours and have a practicum, or observed teaching hours.  They do that at TEFL International.  They also ease you into teaching a class, as opposed to the CELTA, where your teaching on the second day.   

The Trinity TESOL isn't available in Vietnam.  I wish it were, because it was my first choice.

There are other programs in HCMC that offer teaching certificates for as little as $500.  Those certs won't get you a job at RMIT, or the other schools that were previously mentioned.  RMIT is actually the only one of them that I'd like to work for, but a teaching position there is difficult to land.

Still researching.  Can you come into HCMC and meet with me so that we may discuss your options?  There are several things that I  believe you could do.
