Hi Alex,

I am planning on taking their course this July. After doing a lot of research I felt that they were a good choice for me. I will share more of my views when the course is underway.

Regards,
Andrew

that would great andrew, i met some teachers down there who had gone to bridge in denver, and were teaching in BA happily, but im curious about the school down there specifically. O yea, take a jacket, my argentine friends say its getting real chilly down there

Alex, what did your friends say about the teaching situation right now? Have they been able to find work pretty easily? Any info. from anyone, actually, concerning the current job atmosphere would be greatly appreciated!

hi alex,

i took their course here in BA in february. i thought the course was good, thorough and helpful, but the "conditional guarantee of employment" did NOT pan out. i basically got no help finding employment from them. the facility here in BA is small, and they say that if you take the course in Santiago, for example, you usually find work through them, but not here. hmmm....i'm working now, but it took me a little while (bout 3 weeks) to find work. most ESL teachers i know here had similar experiences. i think it's a little harder to find work here now than in the recent past, but it's still definitely doable.
