Seriously Pys guy hasn't even taught in Qatar and feels he has some sort of need to share his ill-informed opinion with us. Pys guy you remind me of that kid in the class who can't help himself but shout out at every single thing even though he doesn't have a clue whats going on. I teach year one, that speaks volumes of my opinion of your forum behaviour.

I was in Doha for a year and had a blast, there is a fantastic ex-pat community amongst schools and you meet plenty of other people from other professions and the locals are nice too. The kids I taught were lovely. Don't let someone who doesn't have a clue influence your decision to consider Doha as a teaching destination.

I was thinking psy guy was getting some unfair press but with useless comments like that I sort of see the point people are making...

I can't commend on a comprehensive list but can tell you to stay well clear of Cambridge school, I have friends who have taught there and it's awful.

Thanks Missme! It's just myself. That's the impression I got from the reviews of the GEMS school that have been reviewed- inconsistencies in salaries, hmm!

GEMS schools yeh or neh? Share your experiences!

I have just registered with GEMS education, they seem to have a stack of schools, I wondered what they are like to work for? If the schools are quite uniforms all as GEMS schools or if they vary in quality? I'm particularly interested in British curriculum schools in Dubai, any info would be great! Thanks!

No Objection Certificate (NOC) needed from Doha - help!

I previously worked in a school in Doha 1 year ago come August 2012. I honoured my contract and parted with the school on good terms, however the owner does not give out NOC. I have been asked by a recruitment agency to interview for another school in Doha (see the post below) but because it is less than two years since my last employment in Doha I dont think I can? Is there anyway around this? I heard there was talk of minimising the wait time from 2 years but I don't think thats happened? Any info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
