Hi,

I have been offered a fantastic job in Qatar. I need to attest/legalize all of my documentation including my wedding certificate. Most of our documents have been attested/legalized by the Qatari embassy in the UK as the documents were issued in the UK. However, I married my wife in India, so the wedding certificate needs to be attested by the Qatari embassy in India. Is there anyway around this, as I live in the UK and do not have the time/money to be going to India to attest/legalize a document. I have asked a UK registrar about getting married in the UK, however, he has confirmed that I will not be able to do this as the wedding in India is recognised as a legal married in the UK.

Hi guys,

I have been offered a job in the Middle East at a school where the US curriculum is taught, mainly the AP program. At the moment, I am teaching the UK curriculum, so I just wanted someone to be kind enough to provide a brief explanation as to what the AP program consists of. Also, what is the validity of the AP program, for example, is it a qualification which is accepted by colleges and universities around the world?

Thanks

Hi,

Does anyone have any up to information about the Sherborne Qatar School? The specific information that I am looking for is travelling distance to the school from the accommodation that is provided by the school. Does anyone know where teachers are likely to be placed, both the location for apartments and villas?

Thanks

Hi guys,

So we have decided to move to Beijing for a couple of years. I have read all about the need to have good quality air purifiers in our apartment, however, no one has seemed to mention the monthly cost of running the air purifiers. I have been informed that it would be best to have 3 air purifiers (1 x living room and 1 for each of the bedrooms) and that they should be keep on 24x7.

What do you think the typical monthly cost would be to run the 3 air purifiers 24x7?

Thanks

Can I ask which school it is within Pakistan? I may be able to provide some advice.

I have decided to turn down their offer. From a financial perspective it would have me more than what I would have been comfortable with.

Thanks lemonlily, the school itself is the A'Takamul International School. Do you know of it? Last review on the pay site was 4 yrs ago and was not very positive. I did raise a topic about the school and feedback was mixed.

Hi all,

A school that I am currently in negoiations with will either provide me with a 1 bed apartment or a housing allowance of 150 KD. The school will not provide any guarantees as to where the apartment will be. Also, I would prefer to find my own apartment because of the size of my family (wife + 1 child). However, 150 KD seems incredibly low to me. What do others think?

The school is located in Rumaithiya. Can anyone suggest an area/apartments which are close the school, which would be suitable for young families without costing the Earth? I realise that I may have to pay for something better out of my own pocket, however, I hear that 1-2-1 tutoring in Kuwait can be quite lucrative.

Hi,

Does anybody have any information about the school above? I believe it is now known as The International School of Prince Salman Nwafth Tabuk and is located in the North West of Saudi Arabia, close to the border with Jordan. It is a small school with a study body of around 250 students and follows the British curriculum.

Does anyone have any info regarding work/life balance, quality of schooling, salary, schooling for my own children etc?

Thanks
Godfather.

Hi guys,

Any recent news for A'Takamul International School? Paysite reviews aren't particularly great, however, last review was 4 yrs ago. Any info on the package e.g. salary, flights, quality of accommodation, schooling for kids?

Many thanks

Purposed package includes 240,000rmb plus according to experience (not sure if this is before/after tax)

What is Changzhou like to live in? Is a yearly salary of 240,000rmb good enough? How much should I be looking for in the accommodation allowance?
