Hey everyone,


I'm thinking of applying for an English teaching job with Business English Advisory. But before I look into it, has anyone here worked for them that can tell me a little bit about their experience of working there? I'm just wondering more or less how many hours they start you of with or if there's a good chance of getting a full schedule once you get hired, etc.


Just trying to get a feel for if they're a legitimate company or not?


thoughts?


Thanks!

Never heard of them.

not sure most foreigners wanting to teach English in chile are aware of this, but if the school you are teaching for is a real business English school they will be SENCE qualified by the Chilean government. Which means they are also ISO certified. Why does that matter? Because without it, companies do not get reimbursed for English courses their employees take by the government.

It use to be really easy for English schools to qualify, then a few years ago they cracked down on it. A whole mess of English schools lost the real biz market or just went out of biz all together. Not sure what the current status is now, but it is something to look for in a school that is doing more than teaching English to kids.

thanks for the feedback and information! I will be sure to look out foe the SENCE/ISO certification. Definitely important if it's how you say! :/

Hi

I worked for them in 2007, at that time they were doing SENCE classes. It was ok working there, but the hours where few and far. They seem to be fairly organized and a fair bit better than some of the other places. And at least they pay on time.
Hope that helps.
