Arrival Information
All participants should arrive at the Shanghai Airport.
Transfer from Airport to Host family or Hostel
Program fees do NOT cover airport pick-up. For an additional $50, we can
arrange airport pick-up for participants, transferring participants to their
respective accommodations. . We do NOT offer airport drop-off services,
participants are responsible for arranging their own return transportation
once the program has commenced. TEFL / TESOL participants are required to
provide their flight information to our offices prior to arrival in Shanghai.
Upon successful completion of the TEFL / TESOL Certification
Course, participants may choose to teach in Shanghai (REMINDER:
the minimum commitment of one semester is needed for those
wishing to teach in the city of Shanghai). In the event
that successful graduates DO teach in Shanghai, the school
or institution offering employment usually covers costs
associated with transit from the location of the TEFL /
TESOL institute to the designated location of their newly-appointed
position. In the event that placement is a significant distance
from the TEFL / TESOL institute, transportation will be
the responsibility of the participant.
How can I contact the school if I arrive
before the start of the TEFL/ TESOL program?
In the event that participants arrive before their proposed
start date, they are advised to remain in a suggested hotel
where they will then call our offices. This information,
such as the address and telephone numbers of our Shanghai
offices, will be included in the final placement details
provided in the supplied pre-departure booklet.
