| Never heard of it. Bit if a ridiculous name if it's in the UK, though. Probably just a front for one of those visa-scam places the government is trying to clamp down on.... |

| They have a branch in Hong Kong and are constantly advertising for teachers. High turnover=poor working conditions, in my experience. |

Gotta be careful here, Never had any dealings with the company but the gen on the street is that students are encouraged to use direct debit as a payment and sign up for long courses. Good business sense but if a student does not like the course or does not progress as well as they would like, the teacher is always changing and does exactly what the las5t teacher did ...again... or they are unable to attend or some other reason that causes them to ask for their money back...There are no refunds or "your course has started it is up to you to complete it and we will contrinue to debit your account"
I have heard that " teachers are only computer monitors and don't help much with Language questions.
So if you have signed up for an 18 month course..... and two weeks into it you are faced with a cretin with a computer programme who can't help you...what do you do.
This is a few years old maybe they have straightened their sales pitch and contractual affairs out but.... |
