AIEP is a legit recruiting company that places teachers in schools throughout China, mainly in third tiered cities. I have been with the company for two years. They have paid me on time and have taken good care of me. They provide valid, legal visas and other documentation. They are affiliated with educational services out of Australia. They operate the UEI system in many school. There is nothing wrong with this company, besides the usual Chinese BS business operations. But, as for teachers working for them, they are legit and legal to be here. Nothing wrong with working for this company. I think the official post is from a disgruntled former teacher that has been either fired or quit due to his own lackings. Yes. The office is located in a hotel on the university campus, along with many other offices that the hotel leases on the third floor. They are not affiliated with the university. They merely rent space in the hotel business office floor. AIEP has been in business for nearly 10 years (I believe). They have always been fair in my treatment and other teachers I know that have worked for them. There have been some teachers that have been dismissed due to their behavior and unprofessional teaching abilities.
