Beware of this universityl as they have not paid me. They wanted me to wait 4-5 months to be paid. They collected large fees from the students and then want to sit on the money and not pay the teachers.

After refusing to teach anymore until being paid I have heard, but can not confirm, that this is not unusual for them. I ran the contract past an American certified Vietnamese attorney and he said it was not legal contract and therefore unenforceable. He said they do this for a reason. To make it hard for you to claim legal wages earned.

They will not return my emails and I think it is time to take them to court.

Even the so called real universities who claim to be concerned about education for the future of the country are really only concerned about skimming some of the cream off the top at the expense of the students and teachers.

Wouldn't recommend it, you might just call enough attention to yourself to get deported.

If you need some fast money, you could try IWEP or ELS as they pay weekly. They're backpacker schools and not very trustworthy but they usually wait for you to get comfortable before they try to screw you.

But we all thank you for the heads-up on another fraud school.

Agree- You might get deported.There is no justice, just connections that cover each others backs.
I know of a teacher who took a school to court in HCMC- He won, but it cost him very dearly to say "See-I was right"- Much more than he won in the case.
