Please can you offer some clarification on this statement?!
This message was NOT "posted" by Jim but by Marc Slayton, FORMER Director of Studies, New Standard Training Center, Liuzhou, Guangxi, China.... How do I know? Marc Slayton HIRED me as a teacher! Then when he attempted to sell the owners "a complete school in a box" program and they refused to buy he quit (After 1 week - 10 days employment). I was hired as the Director of Studies in January 2010 and arrived in Liuzhou in April 2010. I have had a visa arranged by the school continuously. They are licensed and have complete authority to hire a foreign teacher! Heck... I even teach at the #9 Foreign Language High School in the City of Liuzhou... if they where illegal as Mr. Slayton states would I be able to teach (as a paid after class program held withing the school) at their school? They never miss a pay date and I am paid almost 5 times what a local Chinese high school teacher is paid PLUS a beautiful apartment for my non-teaching wife and I.... AND I am 66 years old!
IF you are a REAL teacher, not someone who is just looking to make a few bucks while you travel, PLEASE contact me!

i bet many fts will appreciate jim's warning. reading about so many shite schools/centers makes me wonder if there are any respectable employers in china at all.
cheers and beers to all remaining fts on mainland
This school has no license to operate. Thet claim to be able to get you a visa, yes they can. If you are not a teacher. They have no authority to hire foreign teachers as a school. They are desperately trying to buy a defunct school for its operating license. AVOID THIS AT ALL COSTS IF YOU WANT TO STAY MORE THAN 1 YEAR. Your visa will not be renewable.......Job Posting # 183835/7614 at another respected teacher web site.....WARNING, WARNING, WARNING
