I still have some doubts while booking my course
-
It’s possible to book your course only a little time in advance without any surcharge. However we would recommend making your reservation as soon as possible because the best accommodation is assigned in the order it is reserved. In addition if you want to be sure to receive on time all the required documentation for your school, we would recommend that you make the reservation a minimum of 5 days before the start of your course.
-

-
Yes, the schools give their students certificates on completion of their course providing students have assisted the required amount of classes set by the schools.
I have a few questions about accommodation
-
Of course, with Ynsitu we don’t sell closed packages, you purchase the services that you require. It’s not obligatory to reserve accommodation at the same time as a course, you can reserve a course without accommodation of with accommodation for a shorter period of time then the course duration.
-
All the options are good depending on your preferences they are however different ways to experience your course abroad. The advantages of accommodation with a family is that you experience full immersion, getting to know their customs and culture from the inside with 24 hour immersion in a cosy setting. In halls of residence or shared flats you can enjoy more independence in an international atmosphere where you’ll live with students from many different cultures.
-
In general the schools send us all the information related to your chosen accommodation two weeks before you arrive. The dates can vary as the schools request full payment of the course before they send out the information.
-
The schools try to not lodge students of the same nationality together to insure maximum language immersion, however if you would like to be with students of the same nationality then you can indicate that on your school application form.
If I decide to change the course I want to do, accommodation or course start date what happens?
-
Yes, after having made your reservation online it usually takes up to 2 working days to receive confirmation from the schools, So you can make changes to your reservation during this period.
-
We can still modify your reservation after it has been accepted by the school. However, you should take into account that some schools can charge an extra for making changes, being able to make changes does entirely depend on the availability that both the school and accommodation have.
-
In Ynsitu we can insure that cancelation is entirely free when it is done with a minimum of 30 days in advance.
Contact us as soon as possible so that we can inform the school immediately in order to avoid cancellation charges. If cancellation occurs after the 30 day cut off period then the schools cancellation policy will apply. Most schools allow you to postpone your course to a later date and therefore don’t charge you cancelation fees, however this is not the case with accommodation where there is usually some charge for cancellation. For more information consult our ‘General conditions’.
