Course Description

Participating in an internship is the key link between your studies and becoming a member of the 'real' working world. An even more valuable asset is the ability to work in a foreign country and interact in a foreign language. Come join our Spanish + Internship program and combine two essential experiences into one enriching and edifying adventure!

This exciting program will allow you to improve your Spanish skills in a professional environment and learn about daily Spanish life, business and culture first-hand, with the added bonus of serving as an excellent CV-builder.

Below is a sample list of the fields where we have been able to place our students, but please keep in mind that these are just examples, and not all jobs will be available in all cities. Placement depends on a number of factors (availability in the company, your level of Spanish, your CV, etc.) and we cannot guarantee a position in the specific company or field of your choice.

Also note that internships are harder to find in July & August, since many companies close or have less pending work. Regardless of the circumstances, we will do everything in our power to find the right match for you, and are always ready to form partnerships in other areas at your request, so don't hesitate to ask.

The standard duration of this program is 3 months (1 month Spanish course + 2 months Internship), but many participants choose to extend their stay. There are 3 main requirements for enrollment:
- you must be at least 18 years old
- you must dominate an intermediate-high level of Spanish
- you have a medical insurance.

Before entering the workplace, you will participate in a mandatory 4-week Spanish Language Course (General or Business Spanish). Students who wish to participate but do not meet the required level may enroll in any of our general Spanish courses for as long as it takes to reach an appropriate workplace fluency in spoken and written to Spanish. Participants are not paid during their internship programs. At times, however, a bonus may be negotiated at the discretion of the company, based on the individual's contribution. Please contact our Head Office in Madrid for more information.
