To work here I have to pay a $200 registration fee to join this school. The hours are 30 a week for 6 Euros an hour including weekends. No holiday pay. But they give a certificate to say 1400 teaching hours completed.

Anybody have any expereince of this outfit based in various regions of Spain and rest of world???

A google result doesn't reveal anytrhing about the company; the only result is this thread. Where did you hear about them? Having to pay $200 to register sounds suspicious. Do they make any promises about being able to get you a visa (I'm presuming you're American)?

Hey, don't worry. Think of the poor unfortunates who forked out the $200!

I'm obviously in the wrong business. Anybody wanna open a new 'school' with me?

We can promise unlimited EU working visas for everyone and their doggies, and lots more goodies....

Where do we get an anonymous postbox?

Naw, we'll scare off the rubes who don't know an approach from a method.

Gotta be something simple, that will appeal to the newbs who want fun in the sun....

Oops, think you are making an exophoric reference there. The newb was on another country, I think.

How about Total Interactive Teaching?

You're right, of course. I've been marking papers for 10 hours, and it's clearly time to stop...hmmm...I failed the last four, and better re-check those verdicts in the morning.

Totally Interactive? That's a good one:)
They'll go for that.
We can hammer out the details of our 'offer' sometime soon, and sit back and enjoy the fees rolling in:)
