CERAN is a Belgian language-training organisation founded in 1975 by René and Monique Bastin near Spa, and it has been running immersion programmes for over 50 years, adding its CERAN Academy programmes for young learners in 1986. The group works with more than 200 consultants and expert trainers and intercultural trainers in 25 countries, and says it has trained over 200,000 learners across its residential centres in Belgium and France as well as in Brussels and Paris. Its junior summer stays are hosted at the company's own Saint-Roch campus in Ferrières, with a dedicated team available to parents before, during and after the stay.
