I checked thier websites out and they seem pretty reputable. Anybody here works or worked for them. I sent my CV and resume out to both schools.
The Smith seems like a good choice for me cause although I only have my A.S Degree and Teacher Certifacation they can still work with me on getting my visa. Any thoughts or opinions. |

| Don't know about H but S's has received a heckuva lot of bad press. VERY bad! Personally and professionally, I'd advise you to steer clear of them. |

| Thanks for the info guys. Gee, talk about your scammers. He still has his site up saying he's the best school. Well, anybody have any other reccomendations, I have my TEFL Certifacation but an A.S Degree, and I really want to go to Japan. |

My advice is...
finish your BA\BS degree. You can't get a work visa without it unless you have 3 or more years of teaching experience.
The market in Japan is bloated with teachers. You need all the edge you can get, and a vanilla bachelor's degree doesn't even set you apart, but at least you're eligible for a work visa, unlike right now. |
