Response from Adelante Abroad
Dear Rolene, we received notification of your review below and were surprised for two main reasons: 1) your program ended 7 months ago and 2) we sent you checking-in emails regularly during your Program, and to each, your responses were incredibly positive (including happy face emojis!) So, I am going to respond here to your apparent dissatisfaction which we are just now learning about: you participated in a short, 6 – week summer internship with us last year and your Spanish level was Beginner / no Spanish. You wanted to do a Fashion internship or Marketing which, per our website and what we communicated to you, is not possible without at least some Spanish. Since you really wanted to get abroad, you opted to do the only option available for our Beginner speakers, which is Teaching English. We were VERY clear that you would not be in a school setting with children, as we not do any kind of deep background check on our candidates, rather you would be working at a private language institute mostly with adults, teaching them English. We offered to also try and include some Marketing duties as that was one of your original internship sector requests, which was an extra effort on our part and to which, again, you responded positively the various times we checked in with you about that. Everything you signed up for and paid for, you received with us in Barcelona, plus some add-ons, and all in a timely and professional manner. Our experiential programs abroad are some of the most economical which is possible to see in a few minutes of comparing programs and why candidates sign up with us. Again, this review does come as a shock to us given all the positive communication you gave us during your time abroad.
