Exclamation TEFL scam.... a first

Well, this is a first. So far, I thought TELF course providers were doing a good job. But don't forget, no matter what industry you are in, there is a certain probability that customers will complain no matter what you do.

For the use of readers, I have pasted the start of that news report:

Angry students claim a Prague-based training company left them stranded in
Spain after canceling their course and then -- for months, despite repeated
promises -- failed to refund the fees they had paid to train as
English-language teachers.

The owner of ITC International TEFL Certificate s.r.o., Iva Brozova, denies
she defrauded clients. She insists that students who were owed money have
been repaid, and that her firm has had a good record for a decade.

However, her company has had its membership canceled by the College of
Teachers, a professional body that says ITC has not complied with rules
requiring integrity and conduct that does not bring the profession into
disrepute.
