Why choose one country when you can experience two?
Our Ruby Program combines the best of Thailand and Vietnam—all with a guaranteed teaching job at the end, because apparently one life-changing adventure wasn’t enough.
Start with two weeks in amazing Thailand, where you'll train and practice teaching with Thai students before moving on to your teaching practicum and orientation. Then it's off to vibrant Ho Chi Minh City, where you'll train with TESOL specialist Ms. Duong Tran Thy Diem at TEFL International Vietnam. Between classes, wander the streets of old Saigon, feast on Chinese-Vietnamese cuisine in Cholon, admire French colonial architecture, and visit the War Remnants Museum—basically, a very productive way to avoid sitting still.
The best part? You'll gain real classroom experience with both Thai and Vietnamese learners, giving your resume an international edge—and when the course ends, you can choose which country to call home. Whether it's Thailand or Vietnam, Diem and Mike will be there to help you land the perfect teaching job, so you can spend less time job hunting and more time pretending you meant to become a global educator all along.
Two countries. Two classrooms. One guaranteed job. Not a bad way to change your life.

What you'll learn (besides how to pack for two countries and pretend your suitcase isn’t overweight):
Vietnamese language and cultural basics, so you can survive greetings, small talk, and the occasional “wait, what did I just say?”
A practical look at different teaching methods—when to use them, when to avoid them, and how to keep students awake without resorting to interpretive dance.
Hands-on teaching practice with both Thai and Vietnamese learners, from energetic kids to adults who may or may not be secretly judging your whiteboard skills.
More experience. More confidence. More countries than most TEFL courses can fit into one very ambitious itinerary.

Choose your adventure (because classrooms aren't the only places worth exploring—and yes, this is the fun part):
🏍️ Old Saigon
Moto Tour
Hop on the back of a motorcycle and zip through Ho Chi Minh City with a local guide. You’ll cruise past French colonial landmarks, visit the War Remnants Museum, and end up in historic Cholon, where the food is so good it may distract you from the history. Think of it as a sightseeing tour with a side of adrenaline and noodles.
OR
🛶 Prehistoric Krabi
Kayaking Tour
Paddle through the mangrove forests of Ban Bor Thor and explore ancient caves covered in prehistoric paintings—basically, nature’s oldest graffiti. Visit the Wat Khlong Thom Museum, then head to Krabi’s iconic Khao Khanab Nam, where a longtail boat takes you to a cave with stalagmites and ancient human skeletons. Because nothing says “holiday” like geology and bones. Finish with dinner and a stroll through the Krabi Night Market, where your wallet may also go on an adventure.
Motorbikes or kayaks? Ancient caves or colonial streets? Either way, you’ll learn history, see amazing sights, and probably have a better story than everyone else.
