PROCEDURE for Foreign Teacher Placement Services                            

Step 1

When we receive your application, we will discuss your preferences with you and see how they can best be matched to teaching opportunities in
China. We can also address any concerns and answer your questions. Meanwhile, we will contact schools with suitable openings and send them your resume. If a school is interested in hearing more about you, we will send you detailed information about the position.
 
 

Step 2
We then act as the primary contact between you and the school, and will answer most of your general questions. For some very specific questions, we may need put you in touch with the host school.

 Step 3
When you indicate a desire to proceed with your application, we will send you the contract which will be very similar to the sample contract. Certain conditions such as salary, teaching hours and benefits are not normally negotiable, but we realize that there are bound to be matters which require explanation, so please make sure you clarify any items or wording that concerns you before proceeding to the next step.

  Step 4
Sign the contract and send it to us or direct to the school. While this step is regarded as a sign of good faith and may not be legally binding, we urge you to please make sure that this is your final carefully-considered decision because after you give the host school your promise to accept, the school will decline applications from other candidates and commence an expensive and time-consuming procedure on your behalf.
(This process is an important formality, and is very time consuming because several government departments are involved. The school first needs to report all your information and their intention to invite you as a teachers to the district education administration. After getting approval from the district government, they then need to follow a similar procedure with the provincial or Municipal city's education administration. Then, the third step is to go to the provincial or the Municipal city's foreign affairs office to apply for the work visa documents ( two letters) for you. The whole procedure usually take
10-15 days)

  Step 5
The host school will arrange for the two documents you need to apply for your work visa to be sent to you by mail or courier.

  Step 6
You will take these documents, together with your passport and an application form and fee to apply for a work visa (Z visa) from the Chinese embassy/consulate nearest you. The exact procedure depends on your nationality and the country you are applying in, so you should check any special local requirements before making a commitment.

  Step 7
While waiting for your work visa, you may make your travel preparations and book a return airline ticket.

  Step 8
Inform us as to the time and date you will arrive China and the airline and flight number. We then confirm with your host school to pick you up at the airport and arrange further travel arrangements to your host school

  Step 9
Arrival in China. Your host school's representative will meet you at the airport and arrange travel to your school.

 Step 10
You arrive at your apartment.
Your host school's representative will help you become familiar with your campus and your living environment and assist you with shopping for basic equipment and food.

 Step 11
Your host school will then begin to apply and process the "Foreign Expert Certificate" and "Residence Permit" for you. This should be completed within 20 days of arrival.
You will meet your Waiban and other teachers and colleagues
An orientation program may be offered by your school.

 Step 12
Your colleagues will assist you with preparation of your first lessons and you begin work.

 Step 13
We also offer continuing support for you to have a successful teaching experience in China

Remarks:

Some schools prefer teachers to arrive in China on a tourist visa and then help them process a working visa which takes from 10-14 days, as processing a work visa in the home country of teachers takes longer and can be a little intricate if the documents are not complete.   Most of Schools in certain locations require the teacher to obtain a work visa before landing.  It depends on the provinces in which the schools are located.
