Homestay accommodation

Students can discover more about the island of Jersey, it’s culture and people

A student’s time living with a local & English-speaking host makes up one of the most important aspects of their stay. Our hosts welcome students into their homes and provide a friendly & supportive environment in which they can continue their English experience.

We work closely with hosts around the island, many of whom have been working with us for numerous years, granting us the knowledge to place students appropriately.

In accordance with British Council regulations, our hosts are visited and checked regularly by our Student Services department, who also check them through the relevant authorities.

Documents d’identité pour le voyage

Un passeport est requis pour tous les visiteurs de Jersey. Vous devez vous assurer que votre passeport sera valide durant la totalité de votre voyage.

Les visiteurs venant à Jersey via le Royaume-Uni auront besoin d’une Electronic Travel Authorisation/ETA (autorisation de voyage électronique) à partir d’avril 2025. Les visiteurs venant directement à Jersey depuis l’UE n’auront pas besoin d’ETA avant la fin de 2025.

Vous devez vérifier les conditions de voyage auprès de votre agent de voyage ou de votre compagnie aérienne/opérateur de ferry.

Conditions de paiement

Une fois que votre cours a été validé, vous aurez besoin d'effectuer un premier versement de 200£. Au moins 4 semaines avant le début du cours, vous devrez payer le montant restant.

St Brelade’s College décline toute responsabilité en cas de différence dans le montant final reçu en raison des variations du taux de change sous-jacent.

ASSURANCE

Nous conseillons vivement aux étudiants de souscrire une assurance au moment de la réservation du voyage. Cela devrait assurer une couverture dans le cas où l’étudiant doit annuler la formation avant le départ ou pendant son séjour en raison de facteurs tels que la maladie (par exemple, Covid-19), les frais médicaux d’urgence, les frais de voyage et les effets personnels, etc. Une assurance spéciale pour les séjours linguistiques peut être souscrite auprès de certaines compagnies d’assurance.

Les étudiants doivent payer en amont un acompte de 25%, puis le solde restant au moins 4 semaines avant l’arrivée. Dans l’éventualité où le dossier serait annulé, une partie de l’acompte serait remboursée, déduisant une somme 100£ de frais administratifs.

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.

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.

VISA STUDENTS

Students must pay at least 25% deposit in advance and the balance at least 4 weeks before arrival. In the event that the application is unsuccessful the deposit is returned less a £100 administration fee.
