Hey,
My wife and I were recruited by this school and taken in by all their false promises and lies. We spent a couple of thousand pounds getting out to China and more while in China. The school promised us 2 weeks of teacher training prior to taking any classes, the day after we stepped off the plane they had us taking classes - despite the fact that we told them we had not taught before. We got the impression we were the western puppets there to make the school look good to potential customers, "oh look at us we have native English speakers at our school, send your child here". We were told the apartment we would be staying in was a short walk from the school - in fact it was several bus stops away from the branch we would be spending most of our time in, they never told us that we would have to work a probationary period for which they would not pay us (after I had an argument with them they did pay us for this period). However if you dare to raise any issues with them you will find that their attitude to you totally changes, you will find that you get treated like dirt and they then start to say ok well maybe your not for us, and of course having spent all the money yourself to get out there you get irritated by this and try to explain to them that if the issues are addressed then you will be happy to work there as you did not spend all the time and money you spent to get out there for nothing, to be told after a month that as you are not willing to endure the awful working conditions and accept that you have been told fairy tales about: the apartment, the job, the salary, the staff, getting a working visa, basically everything that they no longer want you to work there.
After a month my wife and I left without telling them as they were treating us horrendously, there was supposed to be other foreign teachers there but we only saw one, the guy Julian Day that told us all the lies to get us out there - and then of course when we got there he just denied all knowledge of telling us anything about the post, the apartment, the salary etc - yet it was only he that we had any dealings or knowledge of prior to getting out there.
I WOULD ADVISE ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN TEACHING ENGLISH IN CHINA TO AVOID THE CC ENGLISH SCHOOL IN GUIYANG CHINA, LIKE THE PLAGUE. YOU WILL ONLY END UP BEING RIPPED OFF AND TREATED LIKE DIRT, NO ONE WILL SUPPORT YOU IN THE SCHOOL AND NO ONE WILL HELP YOU. YOU WILL FIND THAT IF YOU RAISE ANY ISSUES THEY WILL JUST EITHER THREATEN TO GET RID OF YOU OR GET RID OF YOU, YOU WILL FIND THAT YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO, THATS IF THEY DON'T JUST TURN YOU AWAY WHEN YOU GET THERE. YOU WILL FIND THAT CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS HAVE VERY QUESTIONABLE MORALS AND THAT YOU END UP SPENDING MORE OF YOUR OWN MONEY THAN YOU EVER EXPECTED TO, THEY ARE RIP OFF MERCHANTS.

So sorry to hear that you had some of the same pathetic and ignorant attitude problems that i had with CC English School Guiyang, this place is a bad joke.
Unfortunately all we can do is tell others about it as it seems that they can do as they please, treating foreign teachers like monkeys in their parade.
Too many promises and lies from various members of staff at this "school" aka zoo, please anyone reading this thread, do not go near this school at any cost
they are liars and are only out to con you.
If you receive an email from a "Julian Day" as he calls himself please delete or report this as he is the face of hiring foreign teachers and is only out to deceive you, to lure you in with empty promises and then dump on you as soon as you arrive. Forget the 2 week introductions, i had a day and was thrown in the deep end with no help from 9am -10pm, so much for 15hrs a week, and the wages are deducted for various "costs", there is nothing you can do at the time as they fob you off and basically tell you if you are not happy then leave. It is also true as soon as they see you are unhappy or have any complaints you are tossed out the apartment in a matter or days with no warning with another hapless victim awaiting the ordeal you have just endured.

I wish I'd have listened to you disgruntled
I've just been messed around by this lying, unorganized, inconsiderate joke of a school.
Here's my story...
They said I need to go to Guiyang to do the visa. So I went, and when I got there (after a 20 hour train ride) they already knew they couldn't do it! I didn't need to come, and I was stuck.
There was no apology for wasting my time. On top of that, because it's Chinese new year I couldn't get a ticket for the next 4 days. It seemed like a long time for them so they kicked me out of the apartment. They didn't give a f#ck!
Am I a dog?
Well, no. Dogs are usually looked after. Anyway I had to "bark" pretty hard to get them to pay for my train tickets. Unbelievable!
As for teaching, I would say "clown" might be a better job description. You only see the same students twice a month. And guess what your supposed to do with them....
Qian Ling park in Guiyang is a place you can see monkeys. But if your going to work for this school you need only look in the mirror to see an even bigger one.
Happy new year CC! Thanks to you I'll be spending it alone on packed train squashed on my seat with 2nd hand smoke, hocking, spitting, yelling into the phone and big rice sacks!
You b=#tards!!!
