I am doing an article on this company and was wondering what problems you can spy with their website, depspite the obvious charging of money to place teachers in schools.
 
 
- Has anyone here used this company? Their sister-company in Korea is called 'English Business' - has anyone used them?
 
 
any info appreciated |

				So they're paying you to fix the English errors on their site, and you want us to find them for you.   |

That might be because it's an Irish company which sends Irish graduates to teach in Korea.
 
 
As far as problems go, they say their training results in the issuance of a "Graded TEFL Certificate."  However, they neglect to mention that 40 hours (half of which is online) hardly qualifies as a standard 'TEFL Certificate'.  Those courses are usually 100-120 hours.  They should call the qualification something else, rather than give the impression that their teachers will be 'certified'. |

				after General Info remove the period, put a space between Factfiles
 
 
Established in, not since, there's only one s in contractss and there should probably be a hypen in on going
 
 
 
For the courses they offer    Enroling now sounds odd, perhaps Enroll now! would be better.
 
 
 
 
 
Okay, so I used to work as an editor,  I don't do this to people's posts, really! |
