endorsements of gap year company

[mollykins]

if a company is endorsed by about 30 organisations including; DEFRA, PADI, and the EU they're going to be pretty reliable aren't they?

I did find another company with less endorsements and afilliations etc but it was ATOLL protected.

What do you think?

Plus do you think its odd that I emailed CEFAS which is part of DEFRA about reliable companies, yet when they replied they made no mention of such companies?

What's a gap year company?

[mollykins]

They organise trips for gap years, but many do trips thata re only a few weeks long which is what I'm after.

[mollykins]

it's usually the same companies that run them with a few exceptions that specialise in either long or short breaks, for 1 week to 1 year.

as said before, it's a holiday company by the sound of it - perhaps you'd be better off looking at their abta (etc) credentials instead

Thanks, I'll have a look.
