    Just saw this and it almost seems to good to be true.

    They give you a Tesol qualification and if they can't find you a placement they refund your fee's.

    Does anyone have any knowledge of this? As I said it seems to good to be true:

    what makes it sound too good to be true, that they'll refund you if they can't find you a job? I'd say it's easy them to find everyone a job, however the location/hours/wages etc may not be at all to your liking, but you still can't get a refund then.

    Yeah, thats the snag I was expecting:

    "Sir, we've found you an excellent job in an Istanbul school for two hours a week at $3 per hour!"

    Anyone had any experience with these kinds of schemes?

    I know you can often do you tesol/Celta course abroad and begin teaching immediately after the course but I've never came across anyone who has actually done that.
