Ynsitu is a direct booking portal for language courses abroad. The schools we publicise are fully accredited. We are therefore responsible for their services. We are the booking.com of language courses. Our responsibility is to guarantee that the quality of the services offered by our schools are up to a high standard, those that do not reach this standard are taken off our platform.

In Ynsitu you can book your course and accommodation paying only a small part of the cost if you book more than 30 days in advance. In case you choose a course that starts in a shorter period of time, you will have to pay directly the price of the course. Long-term courses usually have specific payment conditions that allow you to pay in installments or defer part of the course to a later date. Please contact us if you have any doubts about this.

You can pay by credit or debit card, Paypal and wire transfer.

For card payments we use Stripe, a fully secure online payment platform that provides the technical, fraud prevention and banking infrastructure needed to operate online payment systems. Stripe’s infrastructure is used by leading ecommerce platforms such as Amazon, Booking, Glovo or Uber among others.

It is possible to take a course at short notice without any surcharge. However, it is advisable to make your reservation as early as possible since the best accommodations are assigned by the schools in the order in which reservations are made. If you want to make sure you receive all the documents required by the school within the deadline, we recommend booking at least 7 days before the start of the course. Of course if you need to apply for a student visa you will need to book much further in advance, 3 or 4 months, as the documentation of acceptance into the course is necessary to start the visa process.

Our school courses usually start on Mondays but you can start your course all through the year selecting the start date of your course when you reserve it. Some specific courses such as exam preparation courses or courses with activitie have fixed start dates throughout the year.

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.

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.

Generally you will be able to change the date of your course without any problem if you have booked well in advance and the start date is still far away, however please note that if you change dates in low season for other dates in high season the school will ask you to pay the difference. If the start date of the course is already close the school may ask you for a postponement fee. Always check the cancellation and postponement policies to avoid surprises.

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.

Many of the courses you find in Ynsitu can be cancelled free of charge with a minimum notice of 30 days before the course starts and many of them in better conditions, however you should always check the particular conditions of each school as they may consider some concepts such as registration fee or accommodation fee as non-refundable. In case you need to cancel, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can notify the school immediately and avoid cancellation fees as much as possible. Many schools allow you to postpone your course free of charge, although others apply charges for postponing courses and/or accommodation. We advise you to always check the conditions of each school beforehand.
