The Benedict Schools

The Inspector knows nothing about this chain. A warning has recently been made in the "FOR BLACKLIST NOMINATIONS CLICK HERE" section by a very disgruntled teacher and The Inspector would therefore welcome any information at all in order to find out if anything nasty lurks under the Benedict Schools stone.

Benidict Schools Naples are currently advertising on Tefl.com, which is an ominous sign at this time of year.

Berlitz Rome and Berlitz Milan

I have to confess that I let out a loud snigger on reading the following job advertisement on the website of those charlatans Tefl.com.

"Berlitz International, Inc. is among the world leaders in the field of language learning services. We have 475 language schools in over 60 countries and live up to an excellent reputation thanks to our high quality standards.
We are currently looking for English Mother Tongue Teachers in Rome and Milan.
10 full time positions available immediately in Rome".

Take a look at the Berlitz Japan section to read all about their "high standards". So they need ten teachers do they? There must have been a mass walkout. The words bull and sh*t spring to The Inspector's mind.

British Institutes Italy

ALERT
Just a quick warning that the British Institutes have been spotted on Tefl.com. Get that barge pole out when you read the word "expanding school". This is often a euphemism for "teacher has done a runner and we're now desperate".
So barge poles at the ready troops and be very wary of:
British Institutes Vicenza
British Institutes Trevizo
British Institutes Gorizia
British Institutes Oderzo
British Institutes Arona
British Institutes Venice
British Institutes Taranto
