EMG provides transportation from our central office for all classes via our company mini-buses or taxis that are arranged by the company. Teachers travel to the schools with Vietnamese support staff.

You will teach anywhere from 4 to 6 periods (1 period = 45 minutes) a day. The rest of your time is spent in the office preparing lessons and completing other non contact teaching duties. The average class length is 2 periods for primary and 3 periods for lower secondary but this can vary depending on school and subject.

EMG only employs expat staff who are eligible for a Vietnamese work permit. In order to acquire a work permit for Vietnam the following documents are required.

– Notarized university degree and teaching certificates

– Police check from your home country

– Vietnamese police check (Obtained once you are living in the country)

– Health check (Obtained in Vietnam once you are living in the country)

Upon joining EMG Education you will be supported by our HR department in applying for your work permit. They will also assist you in arranging an initial business visa.

Over the last four years EMG Education has been working closely with the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education & Training to produce an integrated curriculum that combines the British “Key Stage” curriculum with its Vietnamese equivalent. The Integrated Key Stage curriculum takes into account the sequencing and content of both the Vietnamese curriculum and Key Stage curriculum.

This unification has resulted in a more complete and well-rounded learning experience as well as a reduced workload for the students. Students’ educational development is monitored with progress tests throughout the program.

At the end of primary and lower secondary students studying the Integrated Key Stage programme will sit internationally assessed and recognised examinations through Pearson Edexcel who are the UK’s largest awarding body of academic qualifications.
