Can you elaborate? How is the pricing useful? Have you taken any of the courses for TESOL?

When I look at the British Council site it says that I can achieve a Teaching Award after only 50 hours of study. Is that the same as a TESOL Certificate? The British Education Centre offers a Dimploma in TESOL and a school called Heartpower offer a Certificate to Diploma as well. There seem to be a...

I did a search and spent over an hour reading all the threads but came away from it more confused than ever. I think I will just call the British Council on Monday and see what they suggest. I thought somebody out there may have gone through the process and would be able to give me a straight-forwar...

Oh right, good point! Still a little new at all this and didn't think to look at the date. Cheers

I am interested in teaching English but am confused about where to start and where is the best place to take a course. The British Council offer a Tutor Program and a Celta course but are both sufficient or what is the difference. What is the best school to go to in order to study for TESOL? Any adv...

Has anyone responded to you yet?

Great! Let me know what you find out and if you find what you're looking for.

Just found this one on the Web as well.
They sell a lot of the Marklin brand trains.

Just another quick thought. Model Trains are very popular in Malaysia and I know they have some stores there. If you want to take a weekend away to KL then you may end up saving quite a bit. Not sure off-hand what the stores are called but I know they exist there. That was going to be my next stop.

I would call all 3 stores to see what their lowest price range is and if they are willing to ship anything in that's cheaper. Since I was only looking for the big boy models I was not interested in that level. Hobby Bounties may have something to suit you and if not, they can order it from England s...

I've done a pretty extensive search on where to buy Model Trains in Singapore and have discovered a store called Hobby Bounties that sells Hornby Trains as well as lots of other toys for boys. They are at Katong Shopping Centre. Toycraft Pte Ltd at Adelphi is still there but their train sets start a...

Okay, cheers.

Thanks for your ideas. What are MNC type companies and what is a B2B type venture? I will look into Expat Associations to see what other people have been up to but ideally I would like to possibly sell something from home and be internet-based. That way I can call my own hours and still be home for ...

Okay, thanks. I'll start brainwashing and see where there's a niche here.

Hi there, a lot of little kids go to CIS and all of the families are very happy with the school. Tanglin is known to also be a very good school but since my son does not go there can't help you although I think they have a long waiting list and it is mainly British. After living in England for 8 yea...
