I have an MA in TESOL from an Australian UNI, but no CELTA/TEFL certificate. Can I still get a job in Vietnam?

Thanks!

Yep.

Bring BOTH your uni (undergrad) degree and also your MA, all stamped, etc, for the WP.

I'd been told that having just the MA is sufficient. Am I wrong?

An MA in TESOL is fantastic for a job and sufficient for a work permit. It might not even be needed, but it's good to have a little oomph in reserve, because you never know. Also, an undergrad in certain areas may open doors.

All the major language schools seem to want a CELTA/TEFL certificate. Should I just show them my MA? Any suggestions on places to apply?
