Location and Address

Greg again! 

Hope your search for a suitable camp or course is going well.  Meanwhile, continuing from our last post, let's take a look at rule number two:

Rule Number Two - Always check the authenticity of the course provider's contact address.

This is important, because in the event of any difficulties, if you have no way to actually meet with anyone in person, you may find yourself floundering.  An example may be if they fail to deliver the various excursions and activities as advertised.  Or the course itself might be seriously lacking in content.  In either case, you may well find yourself feeling short-changed.  So you want to be sure that they are fully accessible and accountable.  A lot of course providers rent places for the month concerned and then simply vanish afterwards.  Flashy websites can be highly deceptive, and just an email address isn't going to get you very far.  An address would also be essential if you tried to take legal action.  But more about that in my next post.

Meanwhile, good luck with your search.

EFL Greg
