What's the verdict on these people? There are numerous warnings all over the place. |

sorry to bother you..
hy, I am an italian vehicle designer (qualify).. i received a teacher position in shanghai at the "raffless design college" shanghai. they ask me if i can go there with a tourist visa as it is simple for them to convert it in z working visa later on. are 2 week i try to obtain an invitation letter to obtain a working visa what i obtain is an invitation to "visit" their institute..

Stef, a friend suggested I check into Raffles Design. It looks like a professional design school. I'm impressed with caliber of the faculty. It looks like a real legitimate program so I'm confused by some bad reviews here.
Apparently there's more than one school with Raffles in its name. What's your thoughts about Raffles Design Institute? |

Steff,
If they do not offer you a tourist visa to inspect the school try and speak to all expatriate teaching staff; both current and past teaching staff should be able to give you thorough knowledge of the school's mechanisms. Ask for their phone numbers, not e-mails. You can not rely on e-mails. Anyone can invent numerous aliases on the internet and then invent duplicitous misinformation.
Good luck

My girlfriend has been offered a job either in India or Shanghai with Raffles Education as a lecturer. I'm a little leary about letting her go to such a far off place on her own. Can you tell me more about Raffles and if they are a reputable company to work for?
Thanks! |

Hello
I would like to follow this thread up if possible: Stefff did you end up taking the Raffles position?
and bradley: are your friends still teaching with Raffles?
I am considering Raffles also, but cannot find much information.
Would be very interested to hear the outcomes and verdicts.
thanks
p.s. sorry, I should add, I am considering China, not Singapore, but any feedback is welcome. |

Warnings = smoke which in turn signifies fire which in turn tells us that someone has been burnt.

and judging from the huge increase in negative reviews over the years, it's a raging forest fire. Try glassdoor, for example. |
