Does anyone have any experience in working for NET (EDB) schools in Hong Kong?
I interviewed with them last week and want to inquire as to what it is like to work for them.
Thank you.
NET schools in Hong King (EDB)
I'm also interested in this; there are a few links about the NET scheme if you do a google search:

From what I have HEARD - you need to be a certified teacher, and it is pretty much a crapshoot as to what school you will be working for. Kinda sounds like the GEPIK/EPIK/SMOE program in South Korea except you need a teaching license - they place teachers in various schools throughout the city but you have no say in terms of where you will end up. You could be teaching at a very good school with motivated students or you could be teaching in a backwater school with no resources. Also, I believe that it is all EFL - no subject-matter teaching. Again, this is what I have heard and/or read, it would be nice to have someone with first-hand experience weigh in.
