I chose AIFS Abroad because of the variety of programs that they offer. I went to Paris, France for a January term to take an Accounting class at the American Business College. The AIFS staff was super helpful with me. Even before departure, they were there for me helping me with my housing options and to coordinate my flights, during my program they invited us to different excursions and to the AIFS office in Paris to know the staff and after the program they were very interested in our feedback and reviews. During my program I stayed with a host family and it was such an amazing thing because i got to experience French culture first-hand while also sharing a little bit about my own culture. The American Business College is a place where students from different cultures and backgrounds share one same perspective on global business with an American point of view, which made everything easier for me. This program had a great impact in my life because it made me get out of my comfort zone and get to know so many people while earning credit towards my degree. I'd recommend AIFS Abroad to anyone looking to study abroad or intern while getting credits towards their degree. AIFS is very helpful, has so many programs available and a staff who is always willing to make the best for you.

My son participated in this progam in 2026 and had an amazing experience in France. He lived with a volunteer host family and i think that makes the difference. More and more families are paid but with Oui-COnnect they find only volunteers that open their hearts and homes . They Actually care!

I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and I am excited to go abroad and teach. Thank you TEFL Academy for helping me in building a global teaching career. I would recommend TTA to anyone wanting to achieve their TEFL certification.

Thanks so much for the recommendation.

The course was really interesting and I learnt a lot, a lot of it were things I have never learnt before. It just sometimes challenging trying to submit things. But in general the portal was user friendly and they got back to you quickly.

Thanks for the feedback, Keara.

Teaching in Thailand for 2 weeks was awesome. It's the perfect blend of travel and tourism. You have the opportunity to see the country's more well-known destinations, but also it's far out areas where tourists don't normally travel. The teaching, as well, is so fun, it's such a unique way to interact and learn about another culture all whilst they are learning from you! Honestly can't think of any cons besides the 25 hours it takes to get to Thailand--but there's no way to end up in Thailand and have the experience without this so you just gotta stiff up a lip.

My time with Meiji was unforgettable and I did make a lot of friends. I loved the cultural activities and socialgatherings we had on weekends. I recommend taking the traditional culture and Japanese conversation module. Especially our excursion to a Katana performance and Karate practice was so much fun. I hope to be back soon ♡

IVHQ is an amazing volunteer community. The team is super helpful and supportive from start to finish. The volunteer locations and the home stays are great for immersing yourself in the culture and environment. I’ve done 2 trips. One in Guatemala and one in Ecuador and have plans to do many with. 5 star experience! I hope this review inspires someone!

I love how interactive and fun the courses were. Everything was laid out and it made sense. I’m really glad I signed up for this program. I’m ready to put my newfound skills to use. I am currently working the top-up courses to expand my knowledge.

Thanks for the feedback, Christian. It is great to hear you had fun completing your course.

I’m glad I chose this course. The 120 hour TESOL was very informative and had lots of practical application opportunities. Though I payed very little I got a tremendous amount from it. The later units took everything even deeper. The certs are pretty.

So glad I didn't listen to my friends and went to Tokyo for studies. Osaka was such a blast and the school assisted me with everything. My sharehouse was super close located and the access to restaurants and other supermarkets was very convenient. However, I did hear from other students they stayed a bit further away about 20 mins by subway as the sharehouses seem to get filled up quick! The classes were sometimes intense but very interactive with a lot of speaking practices. Especially the events and excursion trips to Osaka castle and nearby shrines were a lot of fun. I just stayed two weeks but had a great time. Thanks for all the efforts and greetings from Linz :)
