      What is the content for Certi-Host?<\/strong><\/h4>

      The orientation material is based on Doug Ronson\u2019s best-selling booklet, The Essential Guide for Homestay Hosts. The information has been updated and modified for online training. Leveraging his extensive background in assessment, Doug has developed test questions that are fair and measure whether the prospective host understands the material.<\/p>

      You also have the option of using\u00a0 your own content. See below for details.<\/p>

      Is my educational institution branded on the training site?<\/strong><\/h4>

      Yes. When prospective hosts take the training, they will see your name and logo at the top of the page. Each organization has its own customized training page that fits with your branding.<\/p>

      Can I modify the content or use our own host training materials?<\/strong><\/h4>

      Definitely. There are three options. You can:<\/p>

      1. Use our host orientation package \u2013 this means less work for you.<\/li>
      2. Customize our content to suit your program to reflect specific homestay rules or local situations.<\/li>
      3. Provide your own content<\/li><\/ol>

        If you choose to customize the content, or use your own, there is a minimum order size to cover our time to set up the training site. Contact us for details.<\/p>

        How long does it take for a host to complete the training?<\/strong><\/h4>

        Less than two hours. We\u2019ve designed the orientation to be comprehensive yet not take too much time for hosts who may be busy with other activities. You want hosts to have a solid understanding of the material \u2013 yet not be turned off by content that is too lengthy.<\/p>

        Can we use Certi-Host as a screening tool for prospective hosts?<\/strong><\/h4>

        Absolutely! First of all, by asking them to undertake the training, you ensure that they are committed to hosting and willing to put in a couple of hours of work. Secondly, you can set a minimum score on the Certi-Host Assessment in order to host with your organization.<\/p>

        How much does Certi-Host cost?<\/strong><\/h4>

        The fee is between $10 and $15 per host, depending on the volume purchased. You will find that the cost savings add up quickly as you need to invest less time in orienting new hosts. You can focus on other priorities, such as recruiting and managing host\/student relationships.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
