Take a simple look at the Text and Talk banner on ajarn. It says "worldwide accreditation". Then do a few minutes of google research on that means and learn what an absolute crock of shit/con it is.

He writes the ads and website (which is also full of numerous bullshit claims) and is full of it.
Seems that they have made a lot of cash from their claims, seeing as they (Text and Talk) are a crock of shit.

Is this a jealousy issue?
Pat, I'm not sure if you are playing devil's advocate here or are actually backing up your buddy kk, but I will spend a bit of time to clear up your misunderstandings.

Firstly, I actually said that the ad and the website created by kk are a crock of shit, not "they (Text and Talk)" as in the school itself. The school as an educator might be too, but that is another topic. This thread is about selling TEFL courses, i.e. salesmen, ads, websites.

Secondly, why do you suggest that this might be related to jealousy over money? If I were to be jealous of someone with money it would probably be the owner of Microsoft in the USA, Virgin in the UK, or Minor Foods in Thailand, not someone running a backstreet school in Bangkok which can no longer afford its prominent Bangkok Post banner.

If you think it is some kind of jealousy over kk's lifestyle, well then you must be as deluded as him to think that I'd want to spend my life playing on internet forums to try to make a living and shacked up with a wife and kid on the poxy salary it pays.

I realise that kk has probably informed you that I am jealous of him, as he says it all the time on forums, yet I'm never quite sure whether he actually believes it, and is thus deluded into somehow believing he has a great life, or is just saying it to wind me up because he thinks it does. Either way, I used to feel sorry for the guy. Now I can't be bothered to.

He hates the fact that he can't just get on with manipulating newbies because people like me constantly let on and rock his little boat, and for that he has masses of venom towards me. He has managed to build a little group of friends around him to protect him, via clowing and entertaining, handing out visa letters, doing favours etc (i.e. the Thai way of making friends rather than the British way in my opinion), because he knows he needs them to back him up to keep his little schemes going.
