Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What curriculum does EMG teach?

    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.

  2. Do I need to get a Work Permit?

    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)
