Ah, yes. It is true. 

E.M.S. is a francise of of E.L.T. (English Plus) near Kaset University.

I have not worked there for like a year now, but knowning the owner and the other guy, I can see that this can be possible.  The do advertise in the Bkk Journal with the email address: ems@inbox.com

The owner is a Thai woman the assistant is a black man named Jeffery and he can be seen or viewed as someone who is like a used car salesmen.  Smooth talker, and promises everthing and so on.

So, the above posts might be true.  Don't cast the poster here off so quickly as a fraud.

I believe it is no longer a franchise of ELT.  Most ELT franchisees work out pretty quickly that they are being scammed by the greedy, contemptible K. Manoch and break ranks as soon as possible.

Teachers working for ELT franchises would always be employed by ELT itself and not the franchise directly - at least that was what was expected although I'm sure there were teachers employed on the side by some of the franchisees.

Well, to be honest. I was just up near their business site up at Don Moung. From looking at their sign. They do still possess the "English Plus" logo. Both as a lighted outdoor sign and their office design is the same layout as the E.L.T. near Kaset.

I recommend checking out the Bangkok Post Classified adds for their small add in there.

But, just becareful.

I know one person(From a while ago) who was was owed money by this "lady" boss and was told that he could go to the Labor Court but that she was Thai and he was a foreigner and he would get into trouble. He chickened out, not knowing that the Thai labor court is actually VERY sympathetic to employees of all nationalities and has a very successful clearance rate!
Please if you have problems USE THEM! They do follow the law!

The reason I wrote this today is I have just heard of another guy who has lost 3 months salary. Its a long story but I would recommend keeping well clear of this agency!

You have been warned.

PS: To the webmaster of this site: PLEASE change the 'verification' pictures as they are barely readable, I had to try 7 times before I could write it correctly! I almost gave up signing up!~
.... and 5 times here...
