FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I don′t know whether to choose homestay, residence or a guest house. What do you suggest?

Holiday accommodation in Jersey can be expensive during the summer, however our student residence and homestay accommodation offer better value, when taking a course at St Brelade’s College.

Homestay accommodation is intended to give you a taste of British life. You live with local people and take part in their daily lives. In this way, you have an opportunity to practise English and learn about British culture. However, you should also consider that they may not live in the same way as you do. Their customs, routines and eating habits may be completely different to what you are used to.

For adults who would like more independence, a cost effective alternative to a homestay is our adult residence where you can live with other students and cook your own meals.

Please note that we cannot guarantee a homestay near the study centre, nor with private bathroom, therefore if you need either of these you should choose our student residence or one of our recommended guest houses or holiday apartments.

Is it possible for my whole family to stay in homestay accommodation?

Unfortunately we do not have many homestay providers with homes large enough to accept families. For this reason we generally recommend the adult student residence for students travelling with younger children or private accommodation for families. There are a number of hotels near the school which makes it ideal for families.

Will I be staying with other students in homestay?

Unless specifically requested, all adults have a single room, but there may be other students staying with the hosts. However, we never place students of the same nationality in the same house.

I have specific dietary requirements. Can these be catered for?

Our hosts can cater for basic diet requirements such as a vegetarian diet at no extra cost. Specific dietary requirements, catering for intolerances & allergies may incur an additional charge of £27.50 per week if staying in homestay. Please give as much information as possible to the office in order for the hosts to prepare for this.

When should I arrive?

If you have chosen homestay accommodation, you should try to organise your travel to arrive on Sunday and depart on Saturday. If a Sunday arrival is not possible, you can arrive on Saturday, but we regret that Sunday departures are normally not possible. If you are unable to depart on a Saturday, you may have to spend a night in a guest house or consider a Friday departure.

Who will come to pick me up on arrival?

If you have booked homestay accommodation, the host will meet you at the harbour or airport. It is therefore important that you provide us with your arrival details at least four weeks before your start your course. Your host will be holding a St Brelade’s College arrival card with your name on so that you easily recognise them. If you are staying in a hotel, guest house or residence then you need to find your own transport. A taxi to St Aubin or St Helier should cost around £15 – £20.

Travel documentation

A passport is required for all visitors to Jersey. You should ensure there is sufficient validity on your passport to cover your trip.

Visitors coming to Jersey via UK will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) from April 2025. Visitors coming directly to Jersey from the E.U. will not need an ETA until late 2025.

You should check the travel requirements with your travel agent or airline / ferry operator.

Payment terms & conditions

Once your course has been confirmed you will need to pay a deposit of £200. At least 4 weeks before the course starts you will need to pay the remainder of the course fee. St Brelade’s College reserves the right to refuse to provide services to students if the course fees have not been paid.

CANCELLATION FEE

22+ days notice: £200 deposit
8 – 21 days notice: 1 week (tuition & homestay/residence fees) + £200 deposit
1 – 7 days notice: Full fee payable (tuition & homestay/residence fees)
Separate cancellation fees apply to private accommodation. Please refer to the individual hotel terms.

Course fee refunds are made in £GBP to the same card or account used to make the original payment. St Brelade's College accepts no responsibility for any difference in the final amount received due to changes in the underlying exchange rate.

INSURANCE

We strongly advise students to take out insurance at the time of booking the trip. This should ensure cover if the student needs to cancel the course before departure or during their stay due to factors such as illness (e.g. Covid-19), emergency medical expenses, travel costs and personal belongings etc. Special insurance for language course students can be purchased from some insurance providers.
