The program includes a 4 week classroom training at Ninja Teacher Academy in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Our 150 hour TESOL course is delivered over 4 weeks in the classroom with an emphasis on gaining practical teaching skills.
Classes run from Monday to Friday 9am - 4pm, with a lunch break, and observations and solo teaching take place on some evenings and some weekend days.
In your classroom sessions you'll learn all of the skills and methodologies needed to teach English in a fully-immersion based classroom, where you are not speaking your students’ native language, including:
- How to lesson plan using this methodology.
- How to manage a classroom and deal with behavioral issues, encourage and reward good behavior, and keep students engaged.
- How to teach all of the skills, like reading, listening, speaking, and writing, etc.
- And many other things!
This in-person training plus the practical experience outlined is essential to being able to conduct an effective lesson, and schools ask you to conduct a demonstration lesson before they hire you!
Observations: 6 hours
6 hours observing experienced ESL teachers conducting lessons with Vietnamese students of varying ages and levels in real schools in Vietnam.
Peer Teaching: 1 Day
1 full day of peer teaching where you teach a lesson in front of your classmates, observe each other and get feedback and assessment on your teaching from your trainer.
Practical Teaching: 6 Hours
6 solo teaching hours taught by you to real Vietnamese learners in real schools. You will receive feedback on your teaching by our team so that you can improve your teaching throughout the training.
We're excited to be the first classroom TESOL or TEFL course to also include a cutting edge online portal to use in conjunction with your classroom training. Once enrolled you get instant access to module that contain pre-arrival information, bonus video content you can go through before your course begins, and modules that contain supplementary resources during your training, so that you can enhance your learning experience and get the best results out of your 4 week TEFL training.
We work in partnership with the ACCREDITAT to issue an internationally recognized certification. With over 120 hours of classroom training and 6 hours of practical teaching of real students our certification meets the gold standard of international standards.
This means it stands out from online or combined TEFL certificates and puts it in the category of other well known teaching certifications such as the Cambrdige CELTA and Trinity CertTESOL while offering a modern syllabus perfect for first time teachers or those looking to improve their teaching skills.

This job placement assistance takes place during the final week of the program. We’ll conduct a CV workshop to ensure your resume is ready to go, and during the first few days of Week 4, you’ll be greeted by some of Vietnam’s most-established employers while they provide you with more information on what positions they’re hiring for, what they offer, and what it’s like to work with them. This gives you the opportunity to get to know the market and see what you like and don’t like about various employers in Vietnam.
After you complete the employer presentations, we’ll conduct our Career Readiness module, in which we prepare you for the hiring process and conduct our 1-on-1 job coaching sessions - unique to the Ninja Teacher program! We’ll spend time chatting with you to determine what you’re looking for in a teaching position, and answer any questions that you might have as you prepare to go into the hiring process.
From there, we’ll submit your application directly to schools that seem to be lined up with what you’re looking for, and they’ll contact you to schedule interviews and demos, etc. We’ll be there alongside ensuring you’re getting interviews set up, that offers are coming in, and that ultimately you accept a teaching position here in Vietnam!
