Please email AMQ these: Your CV, passport photo and recent photograph together with your skype or other IM ID, and the degree certificate.

What will happen after I pass the interview?

AMQ will email you the contract, offer letter (details of the offer as the contract attachment) and the profile form. The candidate sends back the signed contract (by electronic way) and the profile form within 3 days.

Then we start to prepare the working permit and the invitation letters which will take 10 – 11 working days. On receiving the working permit and the invitation letters, the teacher goes to the local (or otherwise specified in the profile form) China embassy or conculate for the z-visa. The cost for the z-visa in their country is covered by the teacher him/herself, and the rest is covered by AMQ.

Yes. The flight allowance can only be got on the completion of the contract. AMQ will email you all the materials needed to get a Z-visa.

What is the cost of a Z Visa and how do we do this? What is the process?

On receiving the working permit and the invitation letters, the teacher goes to the local (or otherwise specified in the profile form) China embassy or consulate for the z-visa (minimal 125 pound or so). The cost for the z-visa in their country is covered by the teacher him/herself, and the rest is covered by AMQ.

Does the school arrange all the other work permit matters and is this done directly with the candidate or through Assist?

The candidate only needs to send the school the materials. School will handle all the rest.

At what point is the school, accommodation, meals, internet etc confirmed with me and will we always get photographs in advance?

Usually shortly after our clients sign contract with the school, we will have this information, and the candidates can know it during the interview or some occasions afterwards. However, this can only be true when we both agree on the school assignments, as the result, sometime it’s hard to have a fixed appointment.
