The International Schools Review Forum

Hello all!

I'm registered with COIS to go to the London fair in January. Still have not received an invitation to the fair - has anyone else gotten one? They are not responding to my emails either.

Thanks for any input.

How long ago did you request your invite??? What are your qualifications? Honestly, they move pretty fast...

I had to reregister since I already had a file with them and had since moved to another school. I got an email confirmation that my file had been updated (I'm assuming with the latest letter of recommendation) and that I would receive an invitation with the next automated batch of invitations that went out.

Emailed them a couple of days ago and have not gotten a response yet.

I know they moved so they have been a little slow on a couple of things in the last few weeks - I'm just wondering about this one.

Mine arrived the next day after requesting it. Dont know if I was just lucky and it was close to "auto invite time", but they dont have a large database to manage. Was everything alright with your last position and reference? Are you no longer employed? At this time of year, they should have no later then a week turn around time on invitations, and they should be responding to your email within 24 hours normally, 48 hours max.

I checked my file with COIS and it says 'accepted' - whatever that means. I am working now and have all my references in - have always had good references but have had some problems where I am now so I'm beginning to wonder how the latest reference turned out.

I'll call them tomorrow to find out what's going on - it seems that they would tell me if I had been rejected for some reason.

Thanks for the input - will keep you posted.

Got my invitation last week - they are apparently a little behind with the work load.

Glad it wasnt something serious, good luck at the fair.
