My brother was thinking of teaching in Taiwan, so he was looking at www.teach-abroad.org. I want to check up the validity and quality of the program. If anyone has had any experiences with them, let me know. Thanks!

Kudos to you for looking out for your little bro. I haven't heard anything about them, but if you go ask this question on the five or six other Taiwan forums linked to in the "so you have some questions" thread, you'll quadruple your chances of getting some solid info about them. Do searches for that company's name on all of those forums (including this one) might be a lot faster.

All big brothers should be like you. Cheers!

I don't know about their placement, but this;
Quote:
TEACHER'S IDENTITY CARDS

Some of the benefits

Higher Salary in most Schools

More Prestige, more respect

Quick facts:

Valid for two years after Date of Issue

Delivery within 30 days after approval

Price: 69,00 USD

Sounds like a complete waste of paper and ink. This in turn makes me a little suspicious of the rest of their work.

By the way, if anyone wants a Teacher Identity Card I'll make you one for US$10 and a beer. I'll even make the expiry 2050. Pre Approved for members of Dave's. Wink

Any takers?

Haha, thanks for the replies. I should have done a search in the forum before I posted this thread, because I just found this:

http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/job/viewtopic.php?t=32264&highlight=teachabroad

That first paragraph is a red flag for me. So it looks like we're going to have to look elsewhere.

Be very careful of this website. I recieved an offer from them and there were many red flags indicating that it was a total scam. Please be careful.
