Teaching salary and benefits with ADVETI

Hi, I currently work there.  That is an average salary here.  Please bear in mind that your kids will NOT benefit from the education allowance (80,000AED).  Check your contract and see the age limit from when they will pay (i think it might be 5 year up). Your kids may be little young. You will be out of pocket about 20K for child care for the 4yo if you decide to put him in nursery.

What will you be teaching?

Thanks for replying
My son will be 5 by the time we go there. So we will get the school fees for him.
I'll be teaching Maths. They haven't yet placed me in a school.

How difficult is it for the husband to get a job? I heard that he won't be allowed to get a job under my visa, but can get a work visa through the employer.

Thanks

With the right qualifications and experience, he should be able to find a job easily (depending what his standards are).
You can survive easily on your salary until he finds a job.  I know people who work in adveti whom their spouse works under the husbands visa (unless they have changed the rules... happens often here).

From what I've read, the wife can work under the husbands visa, but not the other way round. I'll need to check up on that.

Thank you for your response.

Hi
I received the same offer on Monday as well.
For a science teacher. Were you at the interview at the Marriott London?

I would like to know what it is like working for ADVETI?

I am on the same boat, got initial offer and i havent heard anything since a month and half

They have ashes for my reference twice which I have sent.

This is what I was offer AED 13,486.00/- Basic per month salary
AED 9,280.00/- Housing Allowance per month.
Annual Travel Allowance:
Travel Allowance for the employee and one eligible dependent,
You are entitled to 42 (Forty Two) calendar days of annual leave distributed
End of Service Benefit
Everything else is the same that you two have!!!

what is the salary range for Indian teachers in GEMS in IGCSE curricula??
Early response is appreciable

I've been working for ADVETI for the past 2 years and although my school is good, colleagues are great I have to say that the holidays 42 calendar days (counting the weekends too!) are the lowest in the country for teachers. Plus SAPET Saturdays are mandatory, unpaid and no time back in lieu. If this was made clear to me from the onset then maybe I wouldn't have regretted my initial decision to take the job.
You get to save whatever housing you don't spend, so that's an added bonus, the higher rate if 9k is for Abu Dhabi/Al Ain only.
The teaching salary 12-13 depending on whether you have a Masters or not.
I love living in the UAE and Plan to stay here with my family for many years to come inshallah.
Be patient as the information you would expect is slow (usual here) be flexible, open minded and ready to earn the lifestyle that's on offer. Good luck to those who will join in August.

I work at ADVETI and thought I'd share a few pointers with you.

There are two major employers out here for schools. ADEC and ADVETI.

AVETI will gave everyone the same salary approx 12-13,000 basic with around 9,500 for housing or 11,500 if you're married. Children's education allowance is 80,000 if they are aged 5yrs or above.

ADEC will give you a much higher starting salary starting from 15,000 at least going up to around 19,000. However, they do not give you housing allowance, rather they give you accomodation, which to be fair is actually quite nice. The disadvantage to this is that if you receive you housing allowance in cash you can shop around for a cheaper property and pocket the rest of the cash which could easily give you an extra 4-5,000 per month.

A disadvantage to working for ADVETI is that their holdidays are shorter than that of ADEC schools. Also, ADVETI's teaching day is a few hours longer than that of ADEC. ADEVTI finish at at least 3-3:30 whist ADEC finish at around 1-2pm.

What I would advise anyone to do before they come out here is to not allow any of the two companies to keep the clause in your contract that they can shift you from site to site if needed as they will do it and they do it A LOT out here. People are shifted up and down the country like yoyos unless you are willing to make a stance but that could cause you your job in some instances, which may be worth it if you are willing to pay the price.

Hi

Anybody recvd final contract for ADVETI 2014

Had my ADVETI interview for an EFL position 4/27. Face-to-face was about 15 minutes like most people report; written part was well over an hour (lots of writing involved). Anyone know when ADVETI typically gets back with interviewees with results (e.g. you did/did not get the job, salary + package details, etc.)? It's been about two weeks now. Will ADVETI contact people directly or the recruiting firm (in my case, Teach Away)?

Thanks.
