Peppys Kids Club Help

Liddy I'm sorry to hear it was Hell for you during training. I had such a GOOD time there. My group was awesome. We has so much fun. The good old Bakery @ Hongo & the Japanese Pubs nearby...

Oops! a typo there in the last message, I meant "We HAD so much fun"... anyway.
Also to answer Colaweizen's question you might not get to stay in a hotel. It all depends where you're being trained. If Nagoya, it's one of those apartments. Still good though. Are you coming in November?

Hey! Yes, I do start training in November.

Say do you have to share a room during training?

My training expereince was a lot of work, but also the best time too. If you are lucky and get a hotel you get your own room. If in company rooms, then 2 to a room. Training rocks, i know both the trainers so whoever you get will be really really good! good luck... you know where you are going to be put in Japan?

Yeah, I got placed in Nagoya
so I'll probably end up training in Nagoya. Man, I was really hoping for a hotel room! hahaha.

Would you recommend going with the AIU health insurance that Peppy's offers? In their prep package they recommend purchasing insurance before you depart for Japan. The thing is I'm low on funds now so I more inclined to go with AIU which deducts the amount from your pay cheques.

Hey guys, I just got hired with peppy kids ,I was just wondering if any one of you are going out to japan in the end of january..because that's when I get shipped out.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone on here is starting training in January. My fiancee and I will be starting January 10th in Nagoya. It would be nice to talk to some people before. We're from Canada...ttly.

I got hired at peppy kids just recently too...I only had one interview and got in. I will be going to Japan (from Vancouver) in March...I was supposed to go in Feb but they asked me to go in March...Anyone going in March too?

hello, just wondering if anyone could tell me what the difference is between teachers with a holiday work visa and a working visa. I know the holiday people get taxed at 20% vs 5-6% for woring visa........is there a difference in terms of work load or do the holiday visa people do the same amount of work as the working visa people (i.e. 3-4 hours of work/day)? the peppy website says that working visa people are expected to do 40hrs of work/ week. true? does peppy sponsor the working visa? what happens during the biweekly meetings? I am currently a nova teacher and want out asap!!! your help is greatly appreciated

I'm on a working visa and seems like the WHV people works almost the same as me. Well, it depends how many schools you'll have and how many classes you'll be teaching. But WHV work less during Office Days. They still attend the monthly staff meeting though. It's only 2 hours anyway. Nova Teacher, WHV is only for a year though, and you're already in Japan? So you'll plan to teach less than a year at Peppy? Not that it really matters, but just curious...

i hope to stay in japan longer than a year(maybe two). can you only work for peppy for a year? are you able to sign a new contact after your first or is that it....one year and you have to leave the company?

Hey i was just wondering if anyone is heading out to japan end of january...I am with peppy kids club
my email is bestdefender@hotmail.com
email me if you are going then

Hi novaem, You can extend your one yr contract w/ Peppy. But the question is, if you are with WHV, you are only allow to work in Japan for 1 yr (unless you are from Australia, it's 16 months I guess). So you are like asking two different things here. :)

To snowboarder4u,
I'm also going in the March group from vancouver. A friend of mine who's already working for Peppy referred me. I guess i'll see you at the training! (I plan on arriving 2 weeks before training starts!)

hey chili, that's cool...what's your email address?

hi snowboarder,
I've asked our coordinator to send you my email address! (I dont feel secure posting it here). I was in her office the other day asking her who else is coming on board. So I'm sure she will know it's you to send my email addy to. :)

Yeah I don't like giving out my main email address as well but email me at this account... snowboarder4u@gmail.com
