Have any of you facilitated the Global Assessment Certificate program that's managed by the ACT Education Solution Limited from Australia?

If so, how long is the program there and what the conditions you're working in?

Cheers and beers to all fts in Indonesia

Website is a bit out of date but here is an info page from the Indonesian ACT operation.

http://www.globalcertificate.com/gacschools.html

Recent recruits to the program not mentioned on that website include SBR in Bogor and Victory in Bekasi.

Whoops, forgot...an interesting bit from the ACT HQ website is this:

This suggests that GAC can be done as a 9 month crammer - which is how they seem to do it in China.

thanx for the links..i hope you won't mind carrying them over to the chinese forum.

one interesting thing also strikes me is that they suggest the ACT exams for all GAC students. aren't these exams only for the US? is this a new marketing strategy of the ACT in the states to take over the world or what?

a question for indonesian facilitators; do your GAC students drop out after "successfully accomplishing the proficiency exams"? Or/and, do they get a GAC cert even if they do not finish the modules in level 3?

ohh, do indonesians put the assessment scores in the students files or foreign DOSs?

cheers and beers to GAC that i actually enjoy facilitating as long as students can understand me Smile
