In-house Service

CGP Short Courses works with host families in the York area. We source families and manage the relationship with them internally, rather than outsourcing to an external agency. This allows us to closely maintain the quality of the host family offering and develop long term working relationships with hosts based on trust and respect.


The information below should answer some of the common questions our clients and incoming students ask. We hope that you will find the information you seek here, however, if you are still not clear on anything please get in touch via contact details. We have split the information into four sections: 

  1. Host families and how we select them

  2. How we match students with hosts

  3. Useful information during the stay

  4. Important information for Homestay - student fact sheet




We have also made a Student / Host Family Problem Resolution Chart which clearly outlines the process we go through with all parties involved when an issue arises.
