Well, as far as I know, this college is named after his highness the crown prince Sultan, father of prince Uncle Bandar.
If you want more information about this military college, you may contact the Dean of the college, at the following link:

I have heard that this college has very good medical facilities!

(MOD edit for names)

It is an ok place. A bit out of town. Everything is available on site but some might feel that they need a car. Many worse places than this.

M.E.B.
Are you the one who recently "did a runner" ?

I have known 4 different teachers at this outfit over a period of years. Reports from these varied sources have all been generally positive.

Maybe you should look within.

I have heard no positive reports of TINS - ever.

Ah, it's too bad you decided to post this publicly as well as PM-ing me. You chose to air your judgment of my professional ethics and credibility. Too bad.

No, I didn't do the "runner," I completed my contract. Then I left, along with 4 other teachers. You know, sometimes a person is justified doing a runner, though.

By the way, I've heard that 4 more teachers are not renewing their contracts after this year.


So judgmental...perhaps you should look within, Scot47. Shocked

Nothing wrong with making judgments. We all do it all the time.

One of my judgments is to assume that foreigners in KSA are crazy uintil they prove they are not.

You make it sound sinister and brutal, Scot numberfourseven.

Yet no ones stated what exactly happens.

Uncle Scot, do you mean that you are crazy until you prove you are not? Because you are as well a foreigner in the magic kingdom! Laughing
And how do you prove that you are not a crazy?

You need a certificate to prove it - signed by at least two crazy-dcctors.

From what I have seen of TINS employees, they must require a certificate from doctors stating that they ARE crazy! I'm sure this isn't true for all TINS teachers, but my, my they seem to hire an interesting bunch. Rolling Eyes
