In our last post about Preece, TBI’s bogan Machiavelli, we showed a photo of him handing out certificates at TBI Bali. Let’s use that as the starting point for the second part of this update. Specifically, let’s start with this question: How did we know that he was now at TBI Bali in the first…
Hi Admin…Sekedar Update saja, saat ini TBI semakin kesulitan keuangan, semua dihemat, tunjangan – tunjangan dihapus, karyawan kontrak pun tidak ada kenaikan gaji.

The teacher has alleged that Scott Martin lied to him that teaching on business visas was ”a grey area” in terms of legality. This is another bare-faced lie from Scott Martin, the…
We have often been informed that the “Indonesianization of management” policy which was pursued by TBI with cut-throat abandon in 2010 and 2011 has not been the glowing success that Ashley, Mariam and Luke envisaged.
