The pay is pretty bad for Shenzhen. You should never have to pay to get a job here--even if they're offering you a cellphone and train ticket. If you want, I know a few decent training centers in my area that are looking for teachers and pay a hell of a lot better (somewhere in the neighborhood of 10K I'd expect). And I'll only charge you US$400 for getting you the job.

I'm interested in the quality of training a group like this can offer.
On the training front I'd want to know -
- teacher training hours
- qualifications of the teacher trainers
- list of teaching subjects - a curriculum plan
- size of teacher training classes (how many other trainees will be holding this course with you)

If you cant get full answers to basic questions like these, then expect to be sucked into a scam - where you'll be selling your services on the cheap with very little real training in return

I have also been looking into this program. A friend of mine who currently lives in Shenzhen has a coworker who went over with this program. While the pay apparently isn't great, the rest of the program is good, with a good network between the teachers. I'm seriously considering going.
