I am a Canadian teaching in Shandong Province with Century College and all I have to say is DO NOT do business with these people. I came to China with one other teacher from Canada and we were both told nothing but lies by Esther Lin at Century College. The other teacher and I just recently finished typing up a two page document of all of the unfullfilled promises, lies and contract terms that Century College has told us. They pretend to be your best friend until they get paid by the host school and then you left out to rot by them and they could care less about you. I have lived been in China for 4 months, and do not yet have a phone, net connection, have had my hotmail read, did not have an apartment for two months, was told I was teaching college kids to come here and find out was teaching classes of 50 six year old kids at a time. Esther also told us that we would be teaching in Qingdao, actuality we are teaching in the middle of a polluted oilfield, where we are literally the first foriegners to ever set foot in this town. She also told us it was warm all winter with no rain or snow, only to come here without winter clothes and sit through frigid cold weather and snow. So I hope that you have not already been seduced by C.C.'s idle promises and that you find another company to do business with, as I like the previous poster am going home to take up legal action with them.
Good Luck

Are you sure they are not associated with EF English First? Sounds like one of their little scams.
