[quote=GUEST43134,275007]I'd say the best bet for you in finding an honest school would be to contact the school's existing Foreign experts and ask them how they have been treated... I have been here 6 years and while like others have mentioned 99% of the schools are great, but I have heard some horro stores as well. In regards to the degree question; It seems that requirements differ as to regions; my mates in Shayang say the TEFL is worthless, the BA a must. But for me in the south; I can hire a FT with a Degree and/or a TEFL. As for those with no BA and no Degree, well I think it's pretty hard. Some schools with a specific vocational target can hire Foreign Experts (I.E: a nursing school could hire a FT with nursing experience, a lumber company could hire a mill worker to teach their staff engilsh). The problem with this is the VISA them depends entirely on the PSB, and in most cases the school having an urgent need for a teacher may not tell the FT up front that their is only a 50/50 chance of getting a visa, I've heard about people coming to China starting training and after a a few weeks having to leave ... not cool. So the best bet would be to get a TEFL cert, if only to protect yourself and give yourself some peice of mind, and research the school carefully Good Luck[/quote]
