Beyond Academy Reviews

I was very fortunate to receive an internship after my first year of uni. Having not had experience within the film industry, it was important for me to gain it at this time. Beyond Academy were extremely helpful in finding me a placement, during which I developed my skills and gained further knowledge of the industry I aim to go into. The social aspect provided by BA have been wonderful, with them providing me with amazing experiences + memories, as well as making new friends. Ultimately, BA has helped me step out of my comfort zone, filling me with more confidence that will stay with me as I pursue my career.

I had a wonderful experience in Ireland. It helped me grow as a person and overall helped me how to navigate life abroad. I was at first a bit hesitant and scared and as the days were nearing I was terrified but the minute I was in Ireland, I was completely at ease! The people there were extremely hospitable and kind. I had no issues living at a foreign place for 6 weeks. Furthermore, upon meeting the interns I was surprised by how kind they were. I have made wonderful friends along the way and that wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t applied to Beyond Academy!

The program itself was very well organized, they help to refine your resume, then look for interviews, find housing, pick you up from the airport and even plan multiple events every week so you get to know the people in your program and get a feel for the city you’re staying in. I was in Amsterdam and it was the most amazing experience, the internship was super cool but the best part was being in the city and having the ability to travel wherever on the weekends, I’ll cherish these memories forever.

I had the absolute best time in Barcelona. Beyond Academy and all of its advisors made the entire experience so seamless and safe, I will always remember my time with them!! I also really appreciated how they made sure my company was the right fit for me and all logistics worked out so I wouldn’t have to worry about safety or anything else and really just be able to soak up all the time I had in Barcelona. I also loved how easy it was to travel to other places on the weekend! A special shoutout to our awesome advisor Leticia:)

Before I decided to book an internship experience abroad with Beyond Academy, I had never heard of them before. However, after completing my 6 week program in Barcelona, I will be forever grateful that I decided to book with BA! Leticia, our program coordinator was the kindest person and welcomed each and every one of us with open arms! I had an incredible Summer exploring Barcelona, making new friends, working and creating memories that will last forever. The public transportation in Barcelona was easy to use, the city was so diverse and exciting, and the food was incredible. I also loved the aparto that we had as our housing because it was fun living in the same building as all the other interns! I was able to grow and change so much during this past summer all thanks to the wonderful people of Beyond Academy! I highly recommend!

From the very beginning, I had a great experience, starting with the initial interview with Beyond Academy, where they clearly explained the process. During the internship selection, you have the opportunity to make requests regarding the type of company you'd like to work with. There's virtually no bureaucracy to deal with, and the only thing you need to do is prepare yourself as best as possible to make a good impression from the start. The platform even provides tips on how to do this. I had a positive experience with everyone at Beyond that I interacted with—they were kind, helpful, and always ready to answer any questions. I also had a good experience with the company; I worked on interesting projects and felt like part of the team. In conclusion, I had a very positive experience, and if you want to add experience to your CV, this is a good option.

I embarked on this path to boost my CV since my first university year. It could not have been the best choice; the Beyond Academy team has always been present and attentive since the beginning. I left with many doubts and fears since I chose Seoul as the destination for my internship in Marketing, with a different language, culture and mentality compared to Italian and English. However, the Beyond team was not only present but, above all, EXCELLENT. I can never forget Ji Won, Alize, Seona, and Jinyoung, who made me feel at home from day one and organized the best events. Thanks to them, I had fun and learned much about Korean culture. These girls are the heart of Beyond Academy, and I will enjoy spending time with them. As for my internship…..well, I can only say PERFECT. I worked with a great company where I grew and could put myself to the test, bringing many results and satisfaction. This is crucial for all those who have reached this point of my review: this experience may cost a lot, but it will repay you 100% in every aspect. I say this with all the sincerity and honesty in the world, and I know that one day, this investment will pay you back ten times as much.

I recently completed a three-month internship organized by Beyond Academy, and I can confidently say that it was an invaluable experience, thanks largely to the exceptional support and guidance provided by their team. From the moment I began the application process to the conclusion of my internship, Beyond Academy was there every step of the way, ensuring that I felt supported, informed, and prepared for the challenges ahead.

The application process was smooth and well-structured. Beyond Academy’s team was prompt in their responses and made sure to provide detailed information at every stage. They understood the importance of matching me with an internship that aligned with my career goals, and they took the time to get to know my preferences and aspirations. This personalized approach was a reassuring start, as I felt they genuinely cared about placing me in the right environment.

Once I was matched with an internship, Beyond Academy's involvement didn't stop there. They continued to be an essential source of support throughout the entire experience. The London team, in particular, was incredibly friendly and approachable. They maintained regular contact to check in on my progress, offering guidance whenever needed. This was especially valuable when the internship began to deviate slightly from my initial expectations. Instead of leaving me to navigate these challenges alone, Beyond Academy was proactive in addressing my concerns and ensuring that I could make the most of the situation. Their dedication to my personal and professional development was evident, and it made a significant difference in how I perceived and managed the experience.

The internship itself was a challenging yet rewarding experience. While there were moments that tested my skills and adaptability, I felt well-prepared, thanks to the continuous support from Beyond Academy. They provided me with the resources and encouragement necessary to overcome obstacles and grow from the experience. This ability to adapt and provide timely support highlights the company’s commitment to their participants’ success.

One aspect of Beyond Academy that truly stood out was their attention to detail in creating a well-rounded experience. The activities organized throughout the month were diverse and engaging, catering to a wide range of interests. From cultural excursions to professional networking events, there was always something happening to keep us engaged and learning. Moreover, they were always open to suggestions and feedback, which added a personal touch to the experience. It was clear that Beyond Academy genuinely wanted us to have a fulfilling experience, both professionally and personally.

Another impressive feature was their preparedness for unexpected situations. For instance, when the weather threatened to disrupt planned activities, Beyond Academy always had a Plan B ready to go. This level of foresight and organization ensured that our experience was smooth and enjoyable, even when things didn’t go according to plan. This adaptability further demonstrated their commitment to providing a high-quality experience for all participants.

Overall, Beyond Academy excelled in understanding and supporting their interns. They were not just an intermediary between me and the host company; they were an active participant in my journey, dedicated to ensuring that I had a positive and productive experience. Their professionalism, combined with a genuine care for their participants, sets them apart as an outstanding company for those looking to gain international internship experience.

In conclusion, my time with Beyond Academy was more than just an internship; it was a comprehensive learning experience that challenged me, helped me grow, and provided me with lasting memories and skills. For anyone considering an international internship, I would highly recommend Beyond Academy. Their commitment to support, understanding, and adaptability makes them a top choice for those seeking a well-organized and enriching internship experience.

I was lucky enough to be able to meet an amazing community of people I now call my best friends! The events were so fun and I felt like I got to see so much of Barcelona! My internship was an amazing learning experience and I got to build a great connection with the company and ended up getting a job out of it!! For future interns, I say to go into this with an open mind and open heart! You never know who you’ll meet and what the future has in store! It is overall an amazing, exciting, once in a lifetime experience!

The time I spent in Japan was amazing, but not perfect.

The internship itself was really fun and helpful. Everything you do during the internship will depend entirely on the company you work for. I was lucky in that I worked for a foreign company but the downside was the commute. I would highly recommend looking for your own accommodation as it's so much cheaper and overall better.

The social side of things is mixed. There are events which might interest you and might not. I was able to make some amazing friends and we ended up doing our own thing. Do what makes you happy, for your internship time. I'll probably always look back at my time in Japan fondly, because I've made friends for life and I had so much fun.
