Any information on this place? It's 20 contact hours, 48 total hours, per week at the Centro de Idiomas. The salary seems very good for Colombia, and this is a prestigious university, but I would like specifics on working conditions, students, etc.

Thanks

Check out the Colombian forum there is a full thread about Uni-del Norte.

I was last in Colombia in 2012. Colombia is a great country with marvelous people. Pay is OK depending upon where you teach. International schools by and large are the best employers paying 3.5 million to 4 million Colombian pesos. There are 2 International schools who pay more the 4 million pesos one is in Medellin and the other in Bogota. Language schools should be avoided unless you like low pay and problems.. Most language schools are under the table payments and you must leave the country every 90 days not a good situation at all.

Uni del Norte got back to me so I'm in Mexico instead of Colombia. They are aaaaaa little slow getting back to people...
