Hi everyone,

This is Amber from the head office at Global TESOL College. I wanted to give everyone a heads up on BCM LANGUAGE CENTER. We are adding them to our list of blacklisted schools. We have recently heard back from a student who has been treated unfairly upon arriving in his new position. The details from this situation confirm for me they are not a professional institution and I discourage you from going through them. I did some further research on the internet, the following websites also have blacklisted them:

I cannot stress this enough. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE contact us at Global TESOL College should you require assistance on confirming details on a contract or need help in reviewing a potential contract. There is also an excellent
section in your Employment Handbook (p89) that reviews what to look for in a good contract.

Best of luck!

This is crucial information! Thank you for informing everyone Anthony!

Hi Ashley,

This is Amber from the Head Office at Global TESOL College. I tried researching them also but did not find anything. Where did you see the job posting? Can you email it to me at amber@globaltesol.com along with any other correspondence with the school? Thanks!

Hi everyone!

A student of our has come across a fraud school and I wanted to let everyone know about it:

SCHOOL INFO: Wattraford School in South Yorkshire, England


When we emailed to verify their school details and a school website, they responded requesting the student's details.
Of course, student info cannot be disclosed and this just reinforced if they were legit, why would they not automatically provide the required details rather than ask for student info.

The two contacts for Wattraford School are
Ann Smith & Daniel Ferguson (Vacancy Manager)

They requested student to forward Travel Agency, COLLEGEPARK TRAVELING AGENCY their information.
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!
