Vietnam is a land that overwhelms most visitors with the sublime beauty of its natural settings, from the spectacular limestone islands of Ha Long Bay in the north to the vast wetlands of the Mekong Delta in the south.

Vietnam's capital, Hanoi is a vibrant and bustling city of more than 1,000 years. Forged by periods of Chinese and French occupation, the city is a captivating blend of modern and traditional, eastern and western heritage. Go back in time wandering around the Old Quarter or hundreds of Chinese-style pagodas and temples. Have pho bo (Vietnamese must-try beef noodle soup) not far from the very popular Hoam Kiem Lake.

Don't forget to immerse yourself in Vietnam's culture and complex history by visiting Hanoi's numerous museums and historical landmarks, including the late iconic leader Ho Chi Minh's Mausoleum and preserved French colonial architecture.

Housing Arrangements

Housing is not included in the TEFL course tuition. Assistance in finding accommodations in Hanoi, however, is available.

Our onsite partners in Vietnam have identified suitable accommodations near the course location and will provide a verified list of 2 budget, 2 medium-priced, and 2 higher-end options. The accommodation list that will be provided after registration is by no means definitive, and we recommend also doing your own independent research on hotels within your budget in the city.
 
When booking your accommodation, keep in mind that your first night should be no later than day one of your program (the designated start date) – which will be a Sunday. This is important because the onsite partner hosts a welcome dinner and drinks (all free) in the evening on the first Sunday of each new program. The welcome dinner is a terrific opportunity to meet the staff and your classmates in an informal setting, which makes day two of your program (the first day in class), less stressful than it would otherwise be.
 
So including day one – that first Sunday – you should book accommodation for 23 nights to complete this onsite TEFL certification program in Hanoi.

Recommended neighborhoods: Ba Dinh and neighboring districts in Hanoi.
