AVSE consisted of a positive, fun and very helpful team that facilitated my move from South Africa to crazy Saigon. With David and Paul as my teachers, I was exposed to everything one needs to know about teaching here in Saigon. They both showed such energy and professionalism in class and support outside of class. As a student at AVSE I found that all the resources, staff and facilities made available to me me were more that adequate. ??

After the four week course, Peter introduced me and my mate to VUS, one of the top schools in Saigon, and vouched for us as great english teachers from his course. After the holidays we were offered jobs and we’re working and earning within 2 days of our offer letter at VUS

Great team, great course!!!!

I completed the course in December 2016. As soon as I arrived someone was there to pick me up from the airport and from then on AVSE took care of everything for me. At the welcome party Peter Goudge told us that he and the team would do their very best to meet and exceed our expectations, and he certainly kept his promise.

The course provides great preparation to teach English as a foreign language, particularly thanks to plenty of opportunities to practice teaching in a real classroom setting. I enjoyed the course from beginning to end, and while it was at times challenging for me as a non-native speaker, the team was there to help me overcome the difficulties. It was a lot of fun and I made great friends during the four weeks. Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to embark on a new adventure and start teaching English in Vietnam.

I commenced this course in March 2016, and was at first apprehensive as to what to expect, as i too had read the reviews of different courses available out there and was aware of how difficult the TESOL course can be and the expectations and demands of the course, and wondered if I could keep up with those demands. Rest assured, if you are contemplating taking this course on, that Peter and his staff will go out of their way to make you feel as comfortable as possible throughout the program, and do their utmost to help you with any problems you might be experiencing.

Yes it can be difficult at times but they are behind you every step of the way. Personally, I found the practice section of the course especially daunting, but if you have confidence in your own abilities then you will find it easy and very rewarding. On completion you will be exhilarated and ready to go anywhere on the globe to put into practice what you have learnt at AVSE.

I completed my TESOL course with AVSE back in April this year. From the beginning, the staff were very friendly and welcomed us to their home for a ‘meet and greet’ event. We were provided with accommodation which was right next to the school and well equipped with everything we needed, including a desk and work space. The course itself was a whirl wind experience which required commitment and dedication but the mentors were there every step of the way to guide you through. I felt very supported throughout the 4 week period and although the practical teaching was rather daunting we were given lots of feedback to help us improve our teaching skills. At the end of the course the staff helped me secure a teaching job in Hanoi within a matter of days! I would highly recommend enrolling in AVSE’s TESOL course, you will be in safe and reliable hands!

I have just completed the TESOL course at AVSE and I can honestly say it is one of the best decisions i’ve made. In terms of the course content, the course was very thorough in ensuring we are equipped with skills for when we begin teaching in Vietnam or elsewhere in the world. A personal highlight was the 7 teaching practices, taking place in AVSE and outside, giving you a real insight into how it is going to be when you’re teaching. This experience has given me the confidence to get up in front of the class and deliver a lesson.

Aside from the content of the course, the staff at AVSE are truly welcoming and will help you in any way that they can. Thank you to everyone at AVSE!

I have just completed my TESOL course with AVSE and I can say it has been the best course I’ve ever done. I have gained so much confidence in public speaking and I can say that I am confident now to teach English anywhere in Asia, to any age level and any English level. Not only have I gained this skill but I’ve also made so many terrific friends who are now going to come traveling through Asia with me. I highly recommend this course, I am so appreciative of this whole experience at AVSE.

AVSE is truly an incredible school. Very rarely do I wake up excited to go to class and learn, but with classes at AVSE, I did. Every day was filled with a different task, each of which teaching me so much. The teachers are enthusiastic and they teach so much and so well in the short span of one month.Before the course, I had no confidence when it came to teaching, but after learning the methods and practising teaching, I feel ready to be a teacher. I am so pleased to have gotten my TESOL certification from a school like AVSE.

The staff and teachers are so welcoming and are really helpful when it comes to anything, especially adapting to a new country! Five stars does not do this school justice! I am so grateful for everyone at AVSE and I cannot recommend the course highly enough! Also, Vietnamese lessons were well worth the extra money. Thank you to everyone at AVSE!

When i planned to travel to Vietnam I wished to do the TESOL course so that I could meet a variety of people who would be having the same experience as me. AVSE delivered on this! However, it was not only my fellow students who provided a support network, Peter and the rest of his staff were always there to provide the support necessary to do well, but also to enjoy the experience. Not only are they supportive, but they are very kind and make the experience one to remember. I left AVSE with the confidence that I could go out into the ESL classroom and make a positive difference to the lives of young students as well as adults!

The course provides an detailed introduction for the world of teaching in the ESL classroom as you are taught how to plan lessons, methods of behavior management as well as a variety of activities that cover key language competencies. You will have the opportunity to teach a variety of age groups as well as teaching in another school.

AVSE organised a conference with a very reputable language center. It was undoubtedly a positive factor in my obtaining of a job to be associated with AVSE! I got a job within a few days of completing the course with that very language center.

Not only is this course an internationally recognized qualification, but it also provides you with a level IV certificate that can be used to teach in Australia – something the interests me personally.

I am sure that the AVSE TESOL will meet your needs as it has mine and that you will make some lifelong friends along the way!

Top TESOL Course

I am a citizen of Nepal who travelled to Ho Chi Minh City in March of this year to complete the TESOL course at AVSE. I became aware of what AVSE offer in Ho Chi Minh City through a relative who completed the same course a few months earlier.

The training I received at AVSE and excellent (Australian Government accredited) and the post course support was equally as good. I am now working as an ESL teacher in Hanoi and I couldn’t be happier!

There are cheaper TESOL TEFL courses on offer in Ho Chi Minh City and in other places Vietnam, but I am pleased that I chose to dig a bit deeper and go with AVSE.
