I've just signed up to the Intership in Feb 2013. Been looking at the site for a week and decided enough is enough and just go for it.. So i did lol.

I'm really looking forward to it and meeting everyone. Just need to get my head down and get on with the online application and the course work..

I did the TTC internship way back in August 2010 and I am still out here teaching in China.

If you have any questions, want some tips, learn some Chinese or just general advice I would love to help out!

Hugs and kisses

Katie

Hi everyone, my name is Isha and I'm thinking doing this internship!! I have read alot of posts and I am getting more and more convinced everyone I come on the sites.

Slightly nervous about the whole thing, as il be packing in my job and my whole life, house, possessions etc. So jus have a couple of questions to ask,

1# Would it work out cheaper for me to the 140hr course then separately join this extension like some people have done? would it work out a similar price?

And

2# If I'm really that bad at the course that I fail, do I still have to pay?? 

Thanks :)

Hey everyone! Just signed up and paid for the internship, just gathering my references and such to hand in the application. Spend most of my days with a stupid grin on my face  because I'm so excited! Joined the fb group too- thanks Emily! 

Hey everyone I'm Steve from Ireland, i'm 24 and just signed up for the internship last week. Finally got around to completing my application which actually took longer than I thought it would! lol. Just about to start the course work. I absolutely cannot wait to go to China. Really looking forward to meeting everyone and making new friends. Hope to chat soon. Peace!

Hi there everyone! my name is Matte and I have just joined/paid for the Programme! I'm really excited about this opportunity and i am looking forward to meeting everyone!

I HAVE ALSO BEEN TO CHINA BEFORE THROUGH WORK, SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO FIRE THEM TO.

Does anyone know how long it takes to get accepted?

Hi everyone :) 

I'm Harriet, I'm 21 and I've just signed up to the internship for 2013! Very excited and nervous about it all! Just doing my application now so fingers crossed!!! 

hey everyone.

i'm really considering applying but i don't know anyone else doing it. has anyone else went on this alone?? and how did you find it?

Emma :)

Hello, I'm Cynthia. I am originally from Guangzhou, China 20 yr ago. I live in Boston, Vancouver and now Hong Kong since then. I'm a tutor of Tutor Doctor in Vancouver (BC) for ESL and Mandarin. If anyone has any question about China, Chinese language, I'm here.

I've joined the North District Social Club in Hong Kong and will meet the English people group there later this month.

Has anybody had any feedback from TTC yet? I applied a month ago and still haven't heard anything. I took it upon myself to email them just to ask if they received my application and got no reply. I also rang i-to-i yesterday to see if there was any way they could help. The girl said she would check and ring me back but they have not contacted me either!

I'm starting to get just the tiniest bit annoyed now because all I want is some feedback and I can't get any! I mean, If I haven't been accepted then that's fair enough but I would at least like to be told that so I can figure out what to do next!

Is anybody having similar problems?

Hey Louise,

I heard that they are busy with the August arrivals so they will get back to us about our applications by September :) I'm sure you'll be fine.

Jemimah :)

Is that what it is? That would actually make a lot of sense.....Thanks Jemimah! Where did you hear that from?

Sally from the Facebook page emailed them and they got back to her saying: (i hope she doesnt mind me posting this)

Thank you for your email. 

Please be assured your application has been sent to the partner and they will be in touch shortly. The company (TTC) is currently preparing for the arrival of the August 2012 group so are a little busy at current. They have told us January 2013 applications will be contacted in September.

I hope this helps to assure you your application will be processed and you will be contacted shortly. 

Oh thats brilliant! God I was worried! Thanks so much Jemimah! (and thank you Sally!)

hey guys, im hopefully applying for my internship tomorrow.  February seems a good time for me to go.  The only thing is im torn between China and vietnam! Was anybody else thinking of vietnam? or have any advice or maybe know of differences between the two internships that might help me make up my mind?

I would appreciate any little tips :)

Hi guys, I'm thinking of possibly doing this internship as well, just got to decide for once and all which one I want to do! I've been debating it for a while now, as I have a full time job and dont want to chuck it away for no reason. If anybody has been before or has any advice or tips for me as a newbie to all this, please do get in touch! Hopefully might join you guys in feb :)

Heyyy, 

When deciding on anything major and life changing i usually draw up a list of costs and benefits, i did it for this and it really helped at put things into perspective for me. I thought about things such as homesickness, money and costs of everything altogether, leaving friends and family and long term benefits such as job competitiveness in the future, improving on my language skills and things such as gaining personal gratification, confidence and team working skills

Do it and see if it works.

I hope this has helped! :D 

All booked up! :D Now to put 'project save like ****' into action and get my application sent off!

Far too excited for something that's still 6 months away! A lot to organise, but I cannot wait!

I've joined the fb group too... Can't wait to meet you all for an epic adventure!!

Hey guys!

I did the January 2012 Internship and am staying in Beijing now for another year! It's awesome here, you guys are in for a treat!

If any of you want to head out to Beijing early, I can recommend staying at the place some of us stayed in January called the Candy Inn (also called 1 Hai Inn), which is right next door to the Lama Temple. You can book dorms or private rooms on www.hostelworld.com or by emailing them direct on bj1haiinn@163.com. It's a great little place, cheap and cheerful. And it's surrounded by hutongs and traditional restaurants and BBQs. I definitely recommend coming out early for Chinese New Year - it's amazing.

If you have any questions about the internship or Beijing or teaching or anything, feel free to add me on here or on facebook (my name's Loren Whyatt).
