Come on to the TEFL Toulouse on facebook page - there is an excellent guide to AE registration there

A lot of our foreign students come over on a student visa (with permission to work) - they have to pay for lessons up front with approved companies - to then get french residency is very difficult I am afraid -

So you'll give him proof he is employed (contract, payslips etc)? He should at least get that if you're going to give him a proper job and he will likely need it to get residence for his wife. Or is this just "work" you are proposing?

The fact that they regularly recruit does rather suggest that in fact, they are constantly recruiting self-employed trainers for short-term assignments. Or, that there's a very high staff turnover. I can't see how student numbers would be permanently increasing.

No we regularly recruit because we are increasingly successful - we like to have a stable and happy staff

Exclamation Re: Moving to France with non EU spouse advice

I am sorry but once again I find your attitude rude and insulting - you dont know me, you dont know the company I work for and you dont know how often we recruit or how we recruit...

I am standing down from this discussion and frankly you are now pushing someone who has been a happy and contributive member of this forum for 7 years out of this site and off to somewhere where newcomers put down people they know nothing about

Thank you very much dennerlymum.

I'm not looking for work now it would be September time but I would be very interested in submitting a CV, but I have 3 questions.

1) What is the name of your company? [is it the link at the bottom of your posts]
2) When is the best time to apply for work in your opinion, is that start of the school year normally peak season for employing?
3) Does your company employ people before they have entered France, or do you wait till you have had a face to face interview in the school / company

Just to put my 2 cents in, I have found your comments very useful indeed and have given me great hope in moving to France.

Thank you

Hi again R_w - a useful tip for when you're sending CVs out to potential employers or approaching potential clients in France as a freelancer, is to check the company out first on https://www.infogreffe.fr/societes/d...ntreprise.html or a similar site. Company information is available and you can see how long the company has been going, whether they're solvent, whether they're performing better or worse year on year, etc.

Yes, you post did seem a bit strange, and of course you can understand the reactions to it. But thanks for explaining and apologizing. I've removed it for you.
