It's because of reports like this that I'd NEVER want to work in Saudi again.

I have read that, but I also don`t believe everything I read in the media. Thats why I want to speak to teachers directly out there with AETG.

Did you know that this site has been banned inside of Saudi so the teachers there cannot read your post or reply to it? Even if they could, they'd probably feel unsafe telling you the real story considering what their employer could do to them out of revenge.

Have you read:

Do you really think all these people are posting this information because they like to tell lies? No, they are doing so to warn people like you not to make the same mistake they did. The warning bells inside your head should be going off loud enough to give you a migrane headache right now. If not, I sure hope you enjoy living with cockroaches and being treated like a slave because that's what you will likely experience if you work for this agency in Saudi Arabia.

I too would like to know this. I am currently teaching in Korea and the representative from AETG is confirming my references now. I fully expect to be offered a position.

I am reading this forum and have read the attachments. I even printed them off and quizzed the interviewer about them. Her answers were satisfactory. I recognize there are always at least 2 sides to a story and negative reports often sensationalize, especially in the media.

I will know more if or when a contract comes my way. It was mentioned that I would come to the KSA on business visa then would have to return to my home country and get a work visa. I'm not sure how that works yet.

I would like to go but only if it is completely on the up and up.

Any advice or suggestions would be welcome.

Just search anything under that name, nothing good about it that hasn�t been posted by the company or their subordinates.

Check the latest comments, they�re juicy

Good luck

With proxy by-passes, any blocked site is accessible, even this one.
However, as an ex-AETAG employee, i am outside the country and can post normally.

These posts regarding accommodation are true. If you enjoy roaches you'll be fine.
The area is King Fahd District, on Imam Saud Road, north end-ish of the city. Facing a busy 8-lane highway. which not much around except local shops and a family mall (Riyadh Gallery)

In case you haven�t noticed it they�ve lost the PNU contract and Adwaa Group is recruiting for the new location close to the airport.

Any of you have received any offers? can comment on Adwaa?

[unc5050]

Yes, I did received an offer from them. I am waiting to hear any comments about Adwaa. Adwaa is recruiting for SBC which has a contract with PNU. My offer came from SBC. What about you DeApple?

[DeApple]

I�ve got a direct hire from a Uni, happy with it as well as the single accomodation for a few months. I�m hoping my family can join me there in 4-6 months, as a matter of fact my partner has already received an offer and I will not have a problem getting married sometime soon.

I heard that AETG's accommodation for their employees in Riyadh is not pleasant. However, the accommodation they provide in Dammam/Khobar is right next to the Khobar corniche.
