Quality Assurance of ACET Homestays
We give our homestay hosts strict guidelines to follow and we have a “Homestay Handbook” to guide hosts and make sure cultural differences are understood. Clients fill an evaluation questionnaire on the Thursday of their first week to allow us to check the welfare of each client. If a problem necessitates a change of homestay, the client is changed within 24 hours. Clients also fill a monthly and an end of course evaluation questionnaire which allows for continual monitoring of homes.
