I'd like to know from our members, if you HAD to send your children to a training center, which one you'd choose and why.
I'd particularly like teachers who've had experience in these training centers to offer their opinions.

Thanks!

I havent posted an answer, mainly as I am not 100% sure which of the options would match my requirements.

I would generally plump for the school that had the strictest hiring requirements as this would increase the likelihood of teacherrs being capable, committed, and able to teach. I believe this would make Wall Street the best choice as I know their website suggests teachers must have EFL specific qualifications, which I believe is one of the key indicators of quality.

Of course, I dont know how strict they are with it ... but if I was paying for my child to be educated, I would like to see a teacher who has been committed enough to his job to invest in job specific training which CELTA etc is.

To be honest, I couldn't truthfully give an answer to the question because, for each of those options, there is going to be variations from one branch to another and one city to another.
