Program Reviews

Work during the day but immerse yourself in the culture at night. Meet new people and travel across Seoul with ease. Even walking alone I felt safe no matter the distance. I had the full support of the staff 24/7 and they gave me advice, helped me adjust, and even helped me practice my Korean. It was a great time spent in Seoul that made me not want to leave. I was given the tools necessary to get around and felt prepared to explore on my own. I got to meet people from around the world, make new Korean friends, try so many delicious foods, and practice my Korean.

Had a really good time with this company in Sydney and we were set up with a really friendly support staff member. It was an incredible city and the company Sydney rep set us up with lots of fun activities where we could explore the city through the perspective of a local and a tourist.
The lodge was a bit out of the way across the bridge but it did mean there was a nice view on the way to the city daily.
Beyond creates a perfect opportunity for you to travel and gain experience which has really enhanced my resume.

I had the best time in Barcelona with Beyond Academy! I had a great time with the people around me who were also in my program and I expect that the friendships I made abroad will stay with me forever as well as the wonderful memories. It was such an unforgettable experience I would do anything to be back. I also always very felt very safe knowing there was someone there who was always just a phone call away and was able to help me with any problems I had. Our accommodation was super inner city which was at times inconvenient but we did all have our own bedroom and bathroom, we additionally had a gym and rooftop pool, but I believe the best part was that I always felt safe having 24-hour security. I also really liked that there were coordinated events for us to explore the city. I know that if It was left to us to do I probably wouldn't have seen or learned as much as I did about the city.

This program has been the best experience of my life. The staff was very communicative and always made sure eveyone in the program was taken care of. The search for my internship was super easy and I’d definitely recommend this to anyone! This program is good for anyone wanting to mix the experience of traveling and work life in one situation. Not only was I able to find my path in my career but I was also able to explore a new place with new people. I think anyone who has even had a thought about working overseas this is the program for you!

The reason that I applied for this programme was to know whether I would be able to work in this country. And I saw the possibility.

English is not my first language, so I was always afraid of using it. However, during the programme, I had a lot of opportunities to practice and improve my English knowledge. Now I feel confident and ready to have meaningful relationships with other people using the language.

It was not only about the language; it was also good to learn the work culture in the UK. I was working for a marketing company, and it came to my mind that communication is very important. I saw many people giving feedback to each other relentlessly to get to the best result. It also helped me learn how to work as a team, and I believe this is something you wouldn't get to learn when you are a student and often just write essays stuck in your room all day long.

London is a multicultural city. It was such an opportunity for me to get used to various regional accents and experience many different cultures. You would get all sort of Indian, Korean, Chinese, English, and other types of foods, and surprisingly they are authentic. During the programme, I was also able to meet a lot of people from different countries. We had community events twice a week from Beyond Academy, and it was interesting enough for me to meet people from India, Nigeria, America, etc.

London has a lot of things to see and experience. Many attractions are located in Central London altogether, so it was easy for me to look around the area and visit them. Although the hustle and bustle of the city, there were always new things coming up whenever I entered in a different area, which kept me enjoyable and excited.

I would like to give thanks to the team of Beyond Academy for giving me such a valuable experience. I believe that people have to see and experience as much as possible, especially when they are young. Hope they keep up the good work.

I did a Human Resource Internship organised by Beyond Academy. This company is a start up business to business on a small scale. I have gained real work exposure and experience for the first time in any work setting. I am lifted and content with this Internship, also so grateful to Beyond Academy. My team is supportive and helpful.
Thank you so much Beyond Academy for granting me a life changing experience and opportunity!
I was hesitant to take this internship since I would also be studying a certificate program at the same time. However it taught me time management and discilpine. I am ever ao grateful!

Beyond Academy made living in a different country for the first time easy! All of the nitty-gritty work was done by BA, which left me all my time and energy to do my internship and explore Ireland. This program took out a lot of the stress of moving to another country by finding our accommodation for us, reserving our accommodation, ordering a taxi to take us from the airport to our accommodation, scheduling fun things to do on weekends, and getting us bus passes that already had some money on them. The community coordinators were also a huge help in adjusting to living there, and the weekly dinners create a source of social support the second you land in the country!

During my internship in Seoul, I learned so much and had such a wonderful time. I was able to meet a lot of interesting people in my industry who I never would have had the chance to meet otherwise, so the networking chances were fantastic. The friendships I developed with the other interns were the icing on the cake, and it was an amazing experience getting to know so many people from different countries. The coordinators are really kind and helpful, and also fun! The weekly events organised for us were fantastic, and they made the whole experience that much more enjoyable and educational. The office environment was not only friendly, but also entertaining and very generous. This was my first trip to South Korea, so I wanted to make sure I could enter and stay in the country without any problems as I don't even speak the language. Beyond Academy ensured that I could do all of that prepared to answer any question I had. My internship was the best possible experience!

Although my program was a bit different than anticipated, I would not change it for the world. I always felt supported by my team, Imran, Anna, and even the Beyond community in other countries as a whole. The support I felt was just amazing. Feedback was taken well, events were always fun and unique, and I felt like the program was really customized to the city we were in. I learned a lot professionally and socially, and picked up some life skills and inspiration from other travelers along the way.

I am really grateful to Luiza for being a great support and I think my experience would not have been enjoyable, if not for the great group of interns and Luiza as a support. However, I was not told that my work would be online so I felt really isolated for the whole month and a half, also considering I was not staying in the aparto accommodation. I feel the course is too expensive for what was offered and communication with organisers (besides Luiza) was quite poor. There are so many different people who contacted me, I was unsure who to talk to. The communications were also wrong at times (wrong location, wrong info…)
