Fax:+971-9-2444079

If so, please let me know if they are a legitimate institute.

I think that I have seen the website before on the forums, but can't recall where.

Thanks in advance

Fujairah's city code is 9 NCTBA - it's a landline number

Yup, but that'd only be the fax, right? In any regard, it's sloppy advertising...another red flag...

NCTBA (I double checked before I posted...if yer referring to the second number, then it's missing a digit...)

I think that the school may exist. The second number - missing the digit seems to be the correct number - which makes me suspicious. (flub the correct number intentionally?) Doubly so with the other number being a Dubai mobile. The correct number is 244-2340 according to this website:
http://www.dubaifaqs.com/dibba-science-institute.php

Especially suspicious is that email address... worker.com??? What the heck has that to do with a small school in Fujairah.

Can anyone tell us what that website is? Does it have anything to do with this school... not that this proves or disproves anything.

Personally I would treat it as a scam until proven otherwise.

Show us the rest of the advertisement or give us a link.

Website is for "Fujairah Education Zone"; i.e., nothing to do with the school.

As I suspected... another piece of evidence suggesting a scam.

I think that a scam it was. As i e-mailed some legit queries about the curriculum, teaching staff and education policies, I have noted no reply at all. It was fun practice for possible job interviews though. I like to ask questions about schools. Working in Korea teaches you that quickly.

thanks for your help all of you who replied.
