If the school is connected to Raffles Hotel, Singapore then go for it! We had a lovely afternoon tea there last week, a mere S$115 for two.

Definitely a place to avoid... I found out to my own peril! The contract you accept means nothing... they can withdraw the contract the day before you are due to fly out - flying out on a flight that you've paid for too with the promise of reimbursing you!! Have I ever seen the reimbursement?! No.... AVOID THIS SCHOOL LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!

Parents hate this school too... I learned the hard way and I'm now so much more cautious about schools and making sure I research schools fully first!

I would avoid any employer in the Gulf who requires you to spend anything up front. If they don't pay for the ticket to fly you in... they are almost certainly an employer to avoid.

And if they ask you to pay for a visa, they are a scam...
