I am curious if anyone has had experiences with Shane School in Taipei?
I am considering accepting a position.

(I have used the search option)

What do you think about the pre-teaching training?

Was it a good experience working with them?

Thanks!

Shane School is also involved in recruiting. Are you actually working in a Shane School, or are you being recruited by Shane to work elsewhere?

Being recruited from abroad.

Shane School are recruiting me to work in one of their franchise schools (under the Shane name).

Thanks.

There are some comments about Shane over at www.buxiban.com

Overall the word seems to be good. The complaints were largerly personal in nature. The noticeable thing is that ex-teachers posted positive experiences about their time with Shane, and in my opinion positive comments about schools mean much more than the negative stuff.

Check the hours that they require, and how much they are paying. If you are happy with their offer then there would be no legitimate reason not to take it.

Sounds good! Thanks for the comments .

Where are they sending you? Which town? Make sure that you know where you are headed otherwise you may be sent to some small town in the middle of nowhere that no one else, except a newbie, is willing to teach at. Some teachers might prefer that but if you come on your own you might feel a little isolated.
