Re: NETC or ACIS
Posted by Janet G on 5/18/08

    Papa Gio, what company do you work for. I just did a quick
    search and you seem to always pushing EF and Explorica. I'm
    curious where do you teach?

    In regards to Alison question, in my opinion haven’t traveled
    with most of these companies at least once its well worth it to
    go with ACIS or NETC. Explorica, EF and even Passports you have
    a 50/50 chance of having a decent trip and if you have a bad
    one it can really affect you personally and professionally. You
    pay for what you get.

    ACIS and NETC have both treated me very well and have always
    been honest with me about the good things and the bad things. I
    did have a bad flight with NETC last year, but I have to say
    they were great about it. As you probably know something always
    happens on your trips and I knowing I’m with a company I can
    trust and they will do what I need when something does goes
    wrong is a big plus for me. I used to like ACIS a little more
    then NETC, but the last 2 trips with NETC have been amazing.
    They really do seem to care about education and making sure the
    students get the most out of the trip. Overall you can go wrong
    with either company.

    I’m convinced that the teachers who travel with EF and
    Explorica do it because they personally benefit. If they cared
    about the student’s safety and well being there is no way they
    would countinue to travel with these companies. I live in a
    lower blue collar area outside of south Philly and my parents
    and students don’t mind paying the difference. They may just
    trust my decision, but I’m not sacrificing my reputation and
    students safety for a couple hundred dollars less.
