Description

The combined language and internship Program promotes acquisition of high-level Spanish language skills and provide candidates with professional working experience while fully immersed in a Spanish-speaking environment. We also feel it is of vital importance to provide students with the most realistic experience possible. All aspects of the Program are real-life. Entrance requirements are high and each step is competitive with high levels of performance expected.

We're with you every step of the way: you will have weekly meetings with our Internship team from the first week you arrive to ascertain you preferred area of interest for your Internship, with writing your Spanish CV, and arranging mock interviews. You can choose well structured internship placements from a wide variety of areas.

The first part of the Program is a minimum of 4 weeks of Intensive Spanish language at any don Quijote school. To participate in the Internship, you should have an advanced level of Spanish (B2) upon completing the minimum 4-week intensive language course.

You can also opt to make the first part of your program more varied. We offer you the choice between four weeks of our Intensive course and 2 weeks of our Intensive course combined with two weeks of business Spanish.

The second part is the internship placement itself. This work experience is unpaid, and lasts for 3 months in your chosen sector, either in Madrid, Barcelona, Salamanca or Seville.

Although each work placement program takes place only in particular cities, you may follow your course at any don Quijote school. Remember, the higher your level of Spanish, the better your chances of landing an interesting and challenging position.

When you sign up for this course, please give us more fields in which we could place you. This, because of the availability of the internships.

In 1989, responding to the growing demand for high quality Spanish language courses, we began welcoming students to the first don Quijote school, in Salamanca. In the 22 years since our founding, we have grown to 7 company-owned locations in Spain and Latin America and a network of more than 28 partner schools, largely through the recommendation of more than 150,000 satisfied students. At don Quijote, our watchwords are Quality, Innovation and Partnership. While we continue to lead - in academics, in value and in innovation - we continually seek out new ways to take the quality of our courses and our service to our students to the next level... and the next... and...
