She wants to teach in VN.
She has a degree but not in teaching so would have to do a qualification course in order to do this.
She may try to do this before going but is keen to know the best course in terms of what they require there.
When I was in Thailand last,I met people who were going to Hanoi to do their qualification course as it was the cheapest place to do this--but i didnt get details.So thats a possible option also?
hence the twofold question.
Are you guys are there teaching now? Your advice is invaluable-thanx
Also curious about whether the norm is a contract and if so how long -1 yr?

If she went there to do the course,with her degree,do you think she could do on site training for anything less than the $1500US and be accepted to a decent school for teaching?Are you guys are there teaching now? Your advice is invaluable-thanx

It depends where you get a job and how many hours, you generally make enough to live here very comfortably. If she had a degree for teaching she could earn a great salary. She can get a job all over Vietnam at a range of 10-20 usd an hour,usually tax free.13
I have just been accepted onto the 4-week intensive CELTA teacher training in Hanoi, so I may have more information to impart later on the merits of Vietnam for this and further teaching opportunities. However, I would say, that I felt it important to do some training before teaching - the certificate will be a significant achievement in itself (if I make it!) and will help me develop skills (and get started) as a teacher. I think if your daughter is considering taking a certificate as a way in then she shouldn't necessarily be swayed away from that.14
Just make sure that the Celta is recognised, there are only about 2 places in Hanoi that offer international Celta.
