Brilliant!👌🏻great flexibility on taking the AVSE course in both Cambodia, Vietnam or online. Love how the program helps you out step by step…great presentation man 😊
love the presentation Tom!!!
Great info Tom 👌- all the best 💪
Thanks Tom for this information it really helps to decide on.
Glad to help
First! Really love your videos man :) Also i might try to get my hands on a TEFL Certificate after my 1 year stay in Australia. That should help with my spoken English, aswell as my writen English.
Very cool channel, great content and attitude
Thank you! 🙏
I'll be doing the in class AVSE program in August!
How did it work out for you? I'm doing SO much research at the moment and I'm asking a lot of people questions
I never realized that it is only $5 for a riverboat ride on the ferry late at night in Phnom Penh and it include 1 FREE drink as well. Not quite as cheap as the $1 ferry ride that is 45 minutes long to Koh Larn island in Thailand, but it's still a good price.
Thanks for that Tom. I’m seriously considering taking the plunge. I spent some time in Cambodia last year and really enjoyed it.
If you have any questions you can always ask me. If you go for it it would really help support if you mention my channel
@@TomTripsOut thanks Tom. Is it easy to get a work permit, open a bank account etc?
"Paul in the Philippines old dog new tricks" made a video about his first 30 days in the Philippines and things he would have done differently and kept the same. One was he would have stayed in hotel for first 30 days instead of rushing into a bad rental lease. You should make a video like that.
Great idea
Very encouraging 😅
🇰🇭🙏❤you
I have a degree in Human Resources does that qualify. I studied through the CIPD.
I got an offer but no flight money😢
Hi Tom. Your videos by far the best. Thank you. TEFL certified. Trying to get a teaching job. Also busy doing TEFL 420 hour. I have no degree. In South Africa. First time I heard of AVSE. Will check it out, thanks.
No problem - Mention Top Trips Out if you go for their job assistance program. Find me on instagram if you have any questions you can always reach out to me 😎
@@TomTripsOut Already have, when I completed their online questionnaire yesterday. Thank you, will do.
I’m currently getting my TEFL Certificate authenticated.
Nice!! Wont be long till youre over here
Hey Tom buddy. Love your vlogs man! Great advice for someone that is looking into taking the leap into this path of career just like myself. So I’m a 47 yr old British male that doesn’t have a degree. I’ve worked in construction most of my life. I’m a carpenter/Joiner. And I was wondering if there anything is anything standing in my way? I.E.. my age? I consider myself a pretty intelligent person and I’ve no apprehensions about taking the course and passing. I have a good buddy of mine that has a good teaching job with a reputable school there in Phnom Penh. And he’s told me that my age will not go against me. But then I also have a buddy that has been teaching in Siem Reap for the past 7 years, teaching on line to Chinese and Russian students… and he has said that my age may go against me some what? And I was wondering if you could shed any light on this matter for me? Being the age I am would I have a better chance in Cambodia or Vietnam? Are there any Brits around my age that are teaching there? Are there any Brits that are starting the same career path at the age I am now? Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated! Cheers man! Love the content.. keep up the good work fella!
Age doesn’t matter I worked with a few older guys at my last school. They were Brits too. Older than you. You might not be selected to teach kindergarten- but other than that age doesn’t matter. And you don’t need a degree. I’m 38 with no degree myself
Hi Tom, enjoyed video. How much is the course in Cambodia? Thanks Paul.
It’s $1657 - They are government accredited and it comes with Job placement assistance as you complete the course. It takes 4 weeks and it’s the same program I did. They also offer Vietnam but you need a degree to work there. Accommodation is no longer included but they give you a list of recommended hotels to chose from, varying in price, and you can book one that way.- They also offer the course online as well. You can find info on the different programs on their website. They’ll even do a free zoom call and discuss questions with you. www.avse.edu.vn - Tom Trips Out
Hi Tom how much does the class room based course cost? Allso if I was to do the course this year could I travel for a few months then come back and apply for jobs ?
Yea there’s no problem with traveling after the course. The cost of the in Country course is $1657.
Infomercial.
I’ve got lots of other videos that don’t have to do with teaching
@@TomTripsOut l know I have watched some of them. I have lived in Cambodia since 2013. I was a teacher at ICS for nearly 5 years. Have since retired. It cost me 1900 USD to gain TEFL certificate. They also offered me 50 USD for any referals. Don't blame you trying to make a few extra bucks. Maybe catch up for a beer sometime, cheers.
Are there lots of jobs near water to go surfing in your spare time? Also, is Cambodia oversaturated with teachers like other countries? Are you able to save money while there teaching?
Cambodia is mostly inland, there are only rivers. The ocean is not accessible Unless you go to Sihanoukville on the southern part of Cambodia. Im pretty sure there are no waves at all tho. I haven't heard of people surfing there. Cambodia has a strong amount of expat teachers, but schools are ALWAYS in demand. It is very easy to get a job here, schools are desperate for teachers. I am able to save approx $300 a month while teaching here. But I have friends who make the same as me and struggle to save. It depends if you go out and spend your money on drinking and having a social life. I stay in a lot and I often get free drinks when im out because I play in bands that perform at the bars. The TESOL course I took has a job assistance program for people that want help securing a job. check it out www.avse.edu.vn - mention Tom trips out
Please can you help me ?
What month in the year would the most job openings be available? The months just prior to school starting? Thank you.
Theres no real answer to that. Schools are hiring all year round. When i was hired it was April. With 3 months left in the school year. Teachers are constantly turning over or moving. But i will say that summer is prob a bit more quiet, and September to May would be better.
@@TomTripsOut good answer! Thanks! 😀
Hey. Interested in everything. I taught in china 10 years ish ago. No degree. But times were different then. I tried to find you on fb under tripps out but cant. Give me a holler. :)
Hey its called “Tom Trips Out” on instagram its @tom.tripsout
How did you apply to China without a degree
@fatimarbia4392 fake degree. But honestly it was 2009 to 2012. Times were a little different then. Now it's practically impossible to do that in china. But in wouldnt want to ever go back to China no matter how good the money is.
Hi Tom, what's the salary range and the pay frequency? It's Biweekly or monthly?
@@ahmedgondo9512 every school is different. But most common is once a month. Your first job w no experience you will most likely make 11-$1300 a month.
Nice content Tom. So basically from what you said it's best to do TEFL in Cambodia??
Yes - especially if you plan on working in Cambodia. During the course you get to practice in real classrooms at Cambodian schools. You can't do that in your home country. Also, It's nice starting off with a group of friends and studying with each other and so on. - BUT some people DO prefer to do the course at home online. AVSE offers both. If you do it online, you can do the classroom practice part when you get here. - Its free to reach out to AVSE or check out the website. Id recommend it. www.avse.edu.vn
@@TomTripsOut Thanks for the reply Tom .
Does the school provide medical insurance usually or you need to buy one ?
Thank your for your videos
You should get your own for arriving here. Then when you get a job you usually get medical coverage but i think you dont get it till youre done a 3 month probation. So you will need your own until that kicks in. The one i used was called “safety wing”
I have 2 2 year associates degrees-one in electronics and the other in computer science. Would that work for Thailand?
What’s the music scene like in Cambodia
Its great theres shows very often
I have a TEFL Level 5 from the UK. Is that good enough to start work in Cambodia?
Yes all you need is any TEFL. If you want some help with Job assistance, AVSE offers a Teaching Jobs Abroad Program for people who already have a TEFL like yourself. www.avse.edu.vn
mind if ask what camera you use for your vlogs?
DJI Osmo pocket
Thanks
In your opinion which is better to live in
I love Cambodia but i think a lot of people would say Vietnam is better. More developed, things are cheaper and teachers get more pay. But you need a degree in Vietnam
Can you open a bank account when you work there? Does you salary get to be deposited?
The school will help you open a bank account. The salary is direct deposit into the account
Just curious. What was the ratio men to women students in your class getting their TEFL to be English teachers?
It was about half and half exactly. I think this month it was like 60-40 with more guys
I had found some internships
For teaching in Cambodia is that something that you would recommend ? as I have no prior teaching experience.
No i wouldn’t because that usually means you work for free. You don’t need any experience to get a teaching job. Also the TESOL course w AVSE includes going to real schools and teaching a few classes for an hour each. As practice. So when you apply for jobs you have some experience- www.avse.edu.vn
@@TomTripsOut thanks for the advice, as I can see that course is not cheap but I am sure it is worth every penny so if you take the Cambodia option on the course are you guaranteed a job straight away after you have finished the course in Cambodia or have you got to look around a find one yourself?
Hi Tom, fellow Canadian and Torontonian here. Although I am Canadian and have worked and lived many years in Canada, I am of Asian descent. I heard there is discrimination against non-white people. But that does not deter me. U am just wondering what is the going rate/salary for non-white people and whether I can reasonably save some $$.
The discrimination comes from what country you come from, or if youre a native speaker or not. Also black people experience challenges here sometimes. But since you are Canadian and i assume a native English speaker, you’d make the same as a white person. The range is like 1100-1400 to start
@@Godswindow13 well I feel bad speaking for black people when I’m white and will never understand what they go thru. But to answer from my experience and hearing stories from black friends of mine I can try. I’ve heard sometimes some landlords won’t rent apartments to black people. I could imagine a school paying slightly less too, than someone from Uk or USA. There are black people here tho. I worked with a few and have several friends so it’s not impossible to make a life here. Also it’s mostly the old generation that feels that way. The Young people are not as racist and very inclusive here. So it’s slowly going away. Again this is just what I see.
@@TomTripsOut thanks for sharing, it's so funny that they glorify the white skin color when they are not white n some of them even have a darker skin tone. That's goes to show the level of self hate n low self-esteem. Are ur friends black American males? Is it even safe to survive there as a black female based on what u might have heard?
@@Godswindow13 they are females from South Africa. It is not dangerous here. They don’t do anything violent. It doesn’t go further than a dirty look or coming off as slightly rude.
@@TomTripsOut Thanks Tom. Do you get a laptop from school as a teacher that u can perhaps use even during ur off days or you must bring your own rather? I had a meeting with Peter in Australia n I mentioned your page.
9 minute AVSE advertisement.

Hi Tom
How's the teacher's salary in Cambodia?
Monthly and per hour in average
It can vary but you should start at 1100-1300 a month. I guess thats like 12/hr. - it might sound low but my entire monthly budget is only like $800 including everything
What is the approximate wage or salary a teacher with a AVSE or TEFL certificate?
Starting at 1250 a month Id say. And it can go up from there with experience
Thank you for your prompt response.
Let's say I do the extended program with avse, how long will it take one to get a placement?
as you are completing the program they will already be sending your CV or resume to many schools. In my case I was getting emails from schools to come and interview as I was still in the final few days of the program. they connect you to the schools, you still have to go in and not blow the interview. lol
@@TomTripsOut ok thank you.
I'm not able to hear you clearly about the assistance program in phenomenon in setting up appointments to teach English, if you could give the name? I already have my TEFL, but the. assistance that you talk about sounds interesting. Although, I don't know what kind of luck I'm going to have in getting a teaching job over there because I am turning 67 in a few days, even though I don't look anything near my age. I think I would like to teach English there to give me something to do. Any thoughts??
Theres no age limit. There are many older teachers. Www.avse.edu.vn reach out to them they will do a free webcam call with you and explain everything
@@TomTripsOut Thank you for your reply. Great channel! I was in Cambodia in 2001 and 2002 and it was a wild west back then. I hope there's a little bit of the Wild West left though!
Please I'm interested in teaching in Cambodia is it good to come with tourist visa and look for a teaching job?
No a tourist visa cannot be extended into a working visa. You should get an E-type visa. I would also recommend the job assistance program at AVSE. www.avse.edu.vn if you already have a TEFL or TESOL its the way to go to get hooked up with a job. Mention Tom Trips Out
@@TomTripsOut thank you so much. The email address you provide on your website is not valid. Please send me your email address.
@@techoproland-dm5rh I don’t work for them. I’d suggest find them on FB and send a message. The website should work tho I’ve referred many people thru there. It’s AVSE
What is the dress code like with teaching in Cambodia?
For men, its normally shirt and tie and suit pants and smart shoes. They will allow short sleeve dress shirt
@@TomTripsOut thanks. Oh man never have worn a tie before lol something I should learn to tie 😂
Hello I have a question, what about non native speakers?Can they find job too?
Yes non native speakers can also teach English, but most of the time they will pay a little less salary than a native speaker. I knew a Swedish girl who taught here, aswell as Brazilian so I know it’s possible
@@TomTripsOut Thanks do you think is it possible just with a Tefl so?I would leave my country so do you think it's possible to live with that little less salary permanently?
@@marcoamadori4414 yes it’s possible. Ive known a few people who did it. You just have to live a more simple lifestyle. Like not going out to clubs every night spending money.
@@TomTripsOut Thanks what about the Tefl?Do you need a certificate or something to access?Thanks a lot for responding by the way
@@marcoamadori4414 to get a teaching job you need a TEFL. - to take the TEFL course you do not need any certificates. Also, in Cambodia you do not need a degree to work here.
What is the name of the school you are teaching?
Western International school
What subjects do they take at Western International School?
Hello sir Can i take an ABSC course on a tourist visa in Cambodia or does ABSC provide work visa
It’s AVSE. They provide guidance on what visa to get and how to get it and guide you through the whole process. You enter with an E-type visa and when you land a teaching job, that school will help you get a work visa extension and work permit. The first step is reaching out to AVSE. They will do a free zoom call and answer alll your questions. www.avse.edu.vn - let them know Tom Trips Out sent you
@@TomTripsOut Ok that sounds good, what's Evisa type mean tourist or?
@@user-vt8fo4dm7b it’s not the tourist one. A tourist visa CAN NOT be turned into a work visa. If you start with a tourist visa you will have to leave and re enter the country when it runs out. That’s why it’s the wrong visa to get if you plan on working. You should look into “E-type” ordinary Visa. All this info is easy to find on google, or AVSE can send you info on it and do a zoom meeting
@@TomTripsOut ohh ok i get you, i just reached AVSE on their website page for courses but they changed me 1.650 for the certificate course in phnom penh
I don’t understand what you’re asking. You can find AVSE on FacceBook too
Is there a cut off age
No - you could be any age. Its a common question I get. I worked with many teachers over 55, and some people come teach after they’ve retired in their home country. Im almost 38 myself. Its true its popular with younger people wanting to travel, but they are happy to hire people of any age. The only exception is primary and kindergarten they normally hire females for that.
how much
The full, in person course w accommodation included is $1798 , it is offered in Phnom Penh or Ho Chi Minh. It is well worth it. 👍
How much is the course, and does the course go for a month
Yes it is 4 weeks long. It costs $1657 - and includes a lot of stuff such as job assistance. If you reach out to Peter at AVSE they can answer everything in more detail. Email : “peter@avse.edu.vn”
@@TomTripsOut What currency is this mate???
Once you get this certificate and a job with schools. How much is the average salary for the month in cambodia...???
@@raheretewaharoa9280 it depends on many things like if you work full time, the type of school, the amount of teaching hours, if you have experience. But I’d say you can expect like 1000-1300 a month. 11 - 1200 is pretty common to start. Then over time you can get increases or change schools
@@raheretewaharoa9280 Im talking US dollars. They use USD in Cambodia, even out of the ATM machines. - They also have their own currency called Riel. Dual currency country.
Am from Cameroon west Africa am a trained crèche kindergarten and primary school teacher with 13 years experience I wish to come to Cambodia
I cant really do anything except give advice and tell you what its like here. Im sorry.
Lately I’ve heard stories of people from Africa having difficulty with getting work visas and immigration stuff due to racism unfortunately. Its not impossible tho, because there are people from Africa here teaching. I just thought you should know you may experience difficulties. I worked with a girl that had to go back 4 times before she finally got the longterm visa.
Dude, you gotta stop plugging that program. I'm sure it's great, and I'll probably use it when I head over there myself, but you gotta stop acting like it's the only option. Expat minded people can be some relentless do it yourselfers. At least explain that you can go there and still get a job without it, and what that would entail.
Yeah, honestly I love his channel and all his videos. But I gotta agree with you on that point lol. Can't blame him for getting $$ in return though.
Well you cannot get a teaching job without a TESOL or TEFL. But there are many different courses out there. I can just only speak on what i’ve done. Another option might be to find a tesol or tefl program in your hometown before you come. But they would not prepare you for Cambodian culture, you would not get real classroom teaching practice, and they wont line you up with a job. So its a bad option compared to AVSE. I don’t want to suggest things that i don’t believe in.
Oh yeah, your outfit sucks Tom!
But I have a masters... How do I maximize the credential :)
The answer to that is outside of my knowledge. I just have a high-school education only. I would recommend applying at the really high end expensive private schools
