Beyond Academy Reviews

If you're considering doing an internship through Beyond Academy, I'd say do not hesitate! Although the onboarding process was a bit shaky and lacked clarity, BA matched me with an amazing company in Tokyo. Words cannot describe how much I loved working with my boss and I'm so grateful for the doors of opportunity and relationships that have opened through it. Not to mention, the BA staff is stellar. They go above and beyond for the interns, and always checked in to make sure I was doing okay and adjusting. I'm so excited to go back and see them again!

All I can say is Wow! This was not my first time in Japan, I went in 2019 with another Internship program at the time, and and to put it mildly the experience left somethings to be desired. However I decided to take another chance and found out about Beyond Academy. I'm glad I made the choice. The team, from onboarding to Finance, and then the support staff and Coordinators you meet in Japan, all went above and beyond to ensure and everything is up to par, and should you need help they are never a moments message away. Never in my dreams did I expect to go to Mount Fuji two days before my birthday! The events that they plan for the group range from exciting trips to well known and hidden secrets of Japan. For Dinners or lunches the Coordinators will work with whatever food conditions you have and plan accordingly. I'd like to thank the staff - Alize, Stephanie and Fristy - for their hard word and dedication. 11/10 Would recommend to anyone whose is visiting Japan for the first time, or if you want to plan another experience for yourself!

The Beyond Academy internship abroad program in Seoul was a transformative experience that exceeded my expectations in every way. One of my favorite parts of this program was the amazing cultural experience. The program organizers went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and supported in navigating both the workplace and the vibrant city of Seoul. My internship placement was chosen to align with my career goals and academic background and also helped me develop valuable skills for my future career. From exploring historical sites to enjoying traditional Korean performances, every outing was an amazing experience for me.

My time abroad was a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Stepping out of my comfort zone forced me to confront challenges and adapt to unfamiliar environments, fostering resilience and self-reliance. Whether it was navigating public transportation in a bustling city, each obstacle became an opportunity for growth. To future interns, embrace uncertainty and be open to new experiences and perspectives. Flexibility is key when navigating unfamiliar environments, and being adaptable will help you overcome challenges and make the most of unexpected opportunities.

This program was an unforgettable experience filled with professional growth and lifelong memories. From working in a dynamic environment to exploring iconic landmarks, every moment was enriching. Despite the challenges of navigating a new city, the rewards of interning in London outweighed any drawbacks.

Looking back on my time interning abroad in London, I can boldly say it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. This program did not only enhance my skills but it also gave me memories to cherish for a lifetime.

Overall, my experience was good. I was in Barcelona for 3 months doing an internship in the fashion industry. The internship as a whole was worth while, but my experience with Beyond Academy was a bit strange being the only intern for my first 2 and a half months there. This meant not having immediate friends upon arrival. Other than that I had a great 3 months. Beyond Academy also has weekly events which included museum tours, excursions all through the city and also dinners at typical Spanish restaurants.

I heard once before that you have to experience moving to a high density area for a prolonged period of time at least once in your life, especially in your early twenties. I didn't think much of it at first but now I would say the exact same thing. You learn so much about yourself and you meet such interesting people when you're in a foreign place. For me, Beyond Academy provides a cushion to make experiences like these less daunting with their amazing team and thorough background checks on their partner companies (I fell in love with mine <3). They make you feel taken care of and they make sure that you make the most out of your program.

Take this as your sign to go for it!!!!!

The program was a remarkable journey that significantly contributed to my professional growth and skill development. I did my internship at a charity for 6 months. This internship has undeniably played a pivotal role in my professional and personal development. The experience throughout the program has been wonderful. Not just the help received with the internship but also the community events organised. It allowed me to make new friends and network with other interns. I sincerely thank the Beyond Academy team for offering such a rewarding experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone seeking a comprehensive and enriching internship experience.

Absolutely loved my experience with Beyond Academy!! Super friendly and professional staff (especially Stella and Izzy❤️). The girls were supportive, always answered at any time and helped throughout my entire journey. Everything was top-notch from start to finish. I would highly recommend Beyond Academy for those who are looking for professionals who will take care of them while they study/work abroad. I really loved going to the Top secret stand up club and to the Savoy Theater to see the musical Pretty woman.

Although I initially had issues with getting the type of internship that I signed up for, my experience once I was there was great - the housing was nice and close to work, the dinners were great and organized, and all of the on-site Beyond staff were amazing! They were accessible and genuinely friendly, and I was pleasantly surprised with how involved they were in social events, ensuring that everyone felt welcomed. I made lifelong friends through beyond and had a blast exploring the city and living with them.

I recommend the program to those looking for a way to go abroad with secure housing and a social community while getting some work experience. I do wish that I had some more internship options and more support from Beyond during that initial process, but it is pretty case by case and I ended up very happy with my experience. If you are more of a solo traveler who is more interested in the work than the social experience than I think finding an internship and accommodation on your own will be more worth the buck.
