Pros

Great courses that are easy for teachers to understand. A friendly and supportive staff. Development and progression opportunities for foreign teachers Lots of protection that other teachers in different training centers don't have such as flight allowance, tax, health insurance and other assistance.

Cons

Winter and summer courses at times can be tough as it is a lot of hours. Marketing days can sometimes be quite daunting if you are not use to speaking/performing in public or if you are just shy.

Pros

The students are great and classes can be very fun. Established teachers are very willing to help new teachers.

Cons

Summer/winter intensive courses have you working double the hours and teachers are my compensated for their time. Schools care about sales of courses and less about teaching the students so that they understand.
