Work Experience

We offer students internships/work experience in a wide range of locations. This option is ideal for students looking to improve their language skills and acquire experience of working abroad. The experience and skills that you acquire by doing a period of work experience can later prove invaluable in obtaining employment, or entrance into higher education. Generally students must attend a minimum 4-week course before they start their work experience.

Due to visa regulations, it is often necessary that a student enrolling on a work experience program cannot stay longer than 12 weeks and must be a university student or someone who has recently studied at university.

We offer three types of work experience:

1) Standard Work Experience (unpaid)
Work Experience can be arranged in any area of employment for students who have relevant qualifications and/or experience, such as: Administration, Information Technology, Marketing, Tourism, Law, Hotel and Catering. Students must also have an intermediate/advanced knowledge of the language they are studying before starting this type of work experience. Naturally, students may choose to attend an additional course at one of our schools, before starting their work experience, in order to obtain the necessary language level.

Available in: Madrid, Alicante, El Puerto, Malaga, San Sebastian, Santiago de Compostela, Paris, Bordeaux, Montpellier, Aix-en-Provence, Vienna, Montreal, Santiago de Chile, Buenos Aires.

2) Work Experience in a Language School (unpaid) Students work in different departments in the school, such as accommodation/student services/marketing. Whilst working in the school, students continue to attend a course free of charge, just paying for their accommodation. Students must have an intermediate knowledge of the language they are studying.

Available in: Paris, Milan, Pisa.

This type of work experience is generally only available in the hotel/catering industry, doing unskilled work such as waiter/waitress, housekeeping etc. Students receive pay, or are given accommodation and meals, working a standard week for the country they are in (often 35 hours). A basic knowledge of the language is required.
