Program Reviews

Beautiful experience and I love Thailand so much it's crazy how much I've done in the past 2 months. I was filled with so much joy and just living in the city was such a crazy adventure. At first, I was so nervous that I wasn't going to survive in Thailand because I thought that no one could speak a word of English. Honestly, it's true, not a lot of people could speak but you could see foreigners left and right and you'd be surprised by the number of people that know how to speak English in the malls and general stores. This made is so much easier for me to get to places and explore the city as I please. Although, if any of you plan on coming to Thailand, many roads are pretty sketchy so always go with a friend, don't go alone.

AIP was a great internship provider as well. They always kept in touch with me and always asked how I was doing at work. There were a couple of times that I found myself lost in something and the people at AIP would be more than happy to help as fast as they could. It felt really nice to be in touch with someone all the time.

On top of everything, I had to chance to visit the islands that I wanted to and my god, they were so beautiful. Some of the beaches were clean and some were dirty, but it was still worth the experience.

Wow! Amazing! Just breathtaking!

I just got back from Korea and my god do I miss everything already. I'm still trying to settle back in and things are just different. First thing I really do miss is the food, I'm craving for it as I'm typing this. After spending 6 months in Seoul, a part of me is already like it. I would have never thought that I would be in this position and being really excited to go back to Korea.

Truth be told, in the beginning, I didn't think I would enjoy this experience at all. The visa process was hectic and confusing and I was nearly late for my flight. I think this is where I can thank AIP. Ever since I got passed on to the community manager, I was also checked on and reminded about the internship I'm about to experience. It basically kept me intact in terms of actually going to another country smoothly. And in the end, everything went as planned.

I already miss my coworkers and friends in Seoul, they were a great bunch of peeps and made me feel safe when I thought I'd be all alone. I'm happy even though I'm back in the US, they still keep in touch with me, which is really sweet of them.

I'm definitely making my next year's summer plan involve South Korea when I'm heading to Asia with my family. 10/10!

I'm glad I left my house and actually made my summer really productive.

I just recently finished my degree in Business Management and I actually thought I'd be sitting in my house for the whole 2 months. To be honest, I've always been hesitant to do things outside my comfort zone because that's just how I was growing up. If it wasn't for my dad forcing me and finding me AIP, I would have never left my house.

To be honest, it was because of AIP that I finally decided to go through with an internship abroad. During the initial interview, I was greeted and welcomed by my now point-of-contact, Dennis, and basically felt comfortable and confident about this decision to get out of my shell. He guided me through the whole process and made sure everything was in place to smoothen the placement process.

Long story short, I ended up going to Vietnam, I made a ton of new friends, and I actually met someone that I'm kind of talking to right now *fingers crossed*. The whole experience was seriously life-changing and I actually made plans to come back to Vietnam this coming Christmas, I'm sure that's going to be amazing as well.

All in all, the recommended program, would do it again in a heartbeat.

I did quite a bit of research before joining AIP because I never really thought of interning abroad before but at the same time, I felt like I didn't want to stay in New Zealand forever. After looking online a bit and talking with AIP, I decided that Singapore would be the best opportunity for me considering that English is still the primary language there.

I'm really pleased with the attentiveness that my placement coordinator Frederick took into my application. I was looking for something related to graphic design and AIP was able to secure a company for me that creates package designs. I applied well in advance (8 months prior I think) but the process didn't start until about 4-5 months before my scheduled start date. But the time was pretty smooth once everything started. I think it took about 3 weeks total for the company interview (I needed a second interview with the CEO) and arranging my accommodation, visa preparations, etc.

All in all, I got a lot out of the experience and really enjoyed my time in Singapore. I would recommend AIP if you're thinking about going with AIP!

I'm about to leave Seoul and I'm seriously going to miss every little adventure I had in this country with my friends, coworkers, and family.

Ever since I was little, it was always my dream to visit South Korea because of how beautiful the country was. Lucky for me, I had some of my childhood friends move out to Seoul which meant that they knew the ins and outs of the city which made my life so much easier. Workwise, my coworkers were so friendly. They taught me everything I needed to know and guided me through all the problems I had.

I would like to also commend AIP for making my life easy as well. I didn't want to op for the standard package at first because of its price but then I felt like I wanted to experience being comfortable, and boy I was not disappointed. The people at AIP made me feel comfortable and always checked up on me just to make sure everything was okay, which was honestly very appreciative of them since my first week in South Korea was really quiet and lonely.

Anyways, Seoul has my heart now and I will definitely come back.

I'm about to leave Seoul and I'm seriously going to miss my adventures with friends and family here.

Ever since I was little, I always knew that South Korea was the place to visit and when I finally made it there, I was not disappointed at all, not one bit. I was very lucky to have a couple of my childhood friends in Seoul, they showed me around and took me places that were just fascinating.

I would like to thank AIP for making my stay comfortable and easy. I didn't want to op for the standard package because of it's price but I took my shot and every feature was just worth it from the airport pickup to the accommodation. AIP also kept in contact with me and always checked up on me if I was doing fine or not, that was really appreciative of them since my first week was pretty lonely.

Anyways, Seoul has my heart, and I will be coming back soon.

Really great experience, the internship AIP found me was very interesting and fruitful. Definitely will recommend this internship service provided to every single student or postgraduate which is looking to gain practical knowledge in Asia and potentially become employed.

There is not much to say about the service of the program, except for very reliable, responsive and friendly. The whole process from application to actually getting to Singapore and starting the internship was smooth and straight forward. Personally found the website with a login system really comfortable and convenient. One point needs to be mentioned, the program is very competitive and it is not easy to get in, so better be ready for your first interview and perform well.

The company I’ve been placed in is really friendly and to be fair I was afraid the cultural shock will get me, but it turns out the company had a very international environment so it was very easy to adapt. The team I’ve been working with was supportive and friendly, however the supervisor was quite demanding which I found very useful. My work preferences might differ from other people but AIP is actually doing a good job in terms of finding a perfect match.

Another cool feature is the ability to get the placement without housing, from my knowledge is one of the few organizations who are letting attendees to choose the packages they can go with, based on personal preferences. Customization is the key and I wish AIP to continue what they are doing, since they are doing it very well.

There are no words to accurately describe how amazing and beautiful was my internship in South Korea with AIP. I am extremely grateful to this organization for assisting and arranging the overall process. Of course, the price might be expensive at first glance, however, it definitely worth the service they provided. Everything from the application until the end of the internship was really good. In total, I’ve been in touch with 3 people from AIP during the overall process and all of them were very responsive and answered all my questions transparently and clear. The only issue occurred was the pick up from the airport since my flight got delayed and I had no chance to inform them about the new arrival time. The problem has been resolved and the community manager arranged a new car to pick me up. The accommodation was in excellent area, with a lot of shopping malls around and walking distance to public transportation. The hosting company was very welcoming and warm. My supervisor always had time to answer my questions and provided me with proper guidance especially at the beginning when I felt a bit lost since that was my first work experience ever. The first experience as we all can imagine is really out of the comfort zone even if you “think” you are ready. There are no such things as sitting and listen in the companies. The work environment expected me to be active and cooperate with the team while doing some tasks completely on my own as well. I would definitely highly recommend going with AIP if you would like to do an internship in South Korea. On top of that, I’ve met my new friends who turn out to be from my city as well.

Japan is a very interesting place and AIP did their very best to assist me with the transition of being a fresh graduate to finding and securing my first internship within Asia.

At first, it didn't look good with the amount of time it took to find one but once things started getting going it was very quick in regards scheduling and the feedback provided from my Rep.

Once I was in Japan things went by so fast in terms of the work as the company I was interning at had a few projects going on and they dropped me into the heart of everything. (joining in on Meetings and conference calls, shadowing my supervisors and assisting with daily tasks and of course my own personal projects.)

A few things could be different as the accommodation isn't the best but I felt comfortable after a while. For the people who are picky eaters, I would recommend Bareburger in near Sukiya Dori street.
