Whiskey Time!

August 10, 2026Elena Gao - United States

I had such a wonderful experience working at Teeling Whiskey Distillery in Dublin. The staff were all so genuinely nice and made me feel right at home. Rotating through the cafe, reception, and the back bar allowed me to understand all the different phases of a working distillery, and meeting the bosses was a great addition to the program. Dublin attracts so much tourism, I really enjoyed meeting so many different people from all over the world at my work. It felt like a true mix of diversity, which allowed me to learn so many unique things from everyone I encountered. I was also incredibly glad to use my Mandarin skills to help out. On my days off, I had the best time exploring Dublin, traveling around Ireland, and adventuring into other European countries. It was a beautiful journey both professionally and personally!

It was an amaizing experience

August 10, 2026Lorensha Weavers - South Africa

Absolutely worth it. I learned alot. I applied for a job and got an interview the next day. Definitely an investment 👌 I think that the course work was very simple.The platform was easy to navigate.

A great step towards my teaching career

August 10, 2026Shavaria Rajkumar - South Africa

I had a really positive experience completing my TEFL course. The course content was informative, well-structured, and covered a wide range of topics that are important for teaching English effectively. I especially appreciated how practical the lessons were and how they helped me understand different teaching methods and classroom situations. The course was flexible and allowed me to work at my own pace, which made it easy to balance with my other commitments. I feel much more confident about starting my journey as an English teacher, and I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in teaching English online or abroad.

Exactly what I was searching for...

August 10, 2026Paolla W - Poland

I've been learning this school for a few months now, and it has improved my Mandarin very efficiently. I was self-learning for a couple of years off and on, and it felt like language learning was taking forever. When I started my classes with Teacher Sun Jane, she helped me in areas I struggled with, such as Pronunciation, and I noticed I improved very quickly. If you're serious about learning Mandarin, the program I would recommend. I am almost 25, and I wish I had started this program much younger!

A Valuable and Eye-Opening Internship Experience

August 10, 2026Delfin Aksu - Turkey

My internship with The Intern Group was a very valuable experience for me, both personally and professionally. As this was my first experience working in the industry, I wasn’t completely sure what to expect, but I was able to adapt to the working environment much more easily than I thought. One of the most valuable parts of this experience was that it made me think more seriously about the career path I would like to follow in the future. There are so many different areas and opportunities within computer science and technology, and having the chance to gain real work experience helped me better understand what kind of work I enjoy, what I am good at, and what might suit me best in the future. I also had the opportunity to meet new people, experience a different working environment, and learn many things outside of my university studies. I am especially grateful to my workplace mentors, who were incredibly patient, supportive, and welcoming throughout my internship. They always took the time to help me whenever I had questions or was unsure about something. Everything was explained to me in great detail, and I was guided through unfamiliar tasks in a way that helped me genuinely understand what I was doing. Having such supportive mentors made it much easier for me to learn, build my confidence, and feel comfortable in my first professional working environment. I also really appreciated all the events and activities organised by The Intern Group. I genuinely enjoyed every event I attended, and they made the whole experience even more memorable and enjoyable. They were also a great opportunity to meet and spend time with people from different backgrounds and make new connections. I am very thankful to The Intern Group team for organising them and for always being so supportive throughout my time here. Overall, I am very grateful for this experience and for everyone who contributed to it. I feel like I am leaving with a clearer idea of my future career, new experiences, new connections, and great memories. Thank you to everyone who made this experience so positive!

I will do it again

August 10, 2026Mads Andersen - Denmark

After finishing school in Denmark, I wanted something meaningful before university. GAC's gap year program in Beijing was perfect. I interned at a consulting firm in the mornings and studied Mandarin at BLCU in the afternoons. The team arranged everything – my internship, classes, shared apartment, and even weekend trips to the Great Wall and Xi'an. I came back with real work experience, improved Chinese, and a clear direction for my future. Best decision I ever made. If I get to do it again, I will certainly go with GAC's program.

I got to meet so many amazing people while getting to explore a new city, all while building my resume at an amazing internship company that will leave a lasting impact on me.
