How long is a Virtual Internship?

4, 6, 8, or 12 weeks – it’s up to you. You can also commit anywhere between 10-30 hours per week to your internship. The beauty of virtual internships is that they are flexible to fit your studies and lifestyle.

What companies could I be working for?

Host companies range from big organisations to startups and SMEs. Over 70% of interns work directly with the founder or c-suite member of their host company!

Why is internship experience so important?

A virtual internship gives you the chance to gain the soft and hard skills you need to succeed in your future career. You’ll be able to work with CEOs, incredible leaders, and more throughout the US, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.

Will a virtual internship make me more employable?

1 in 4 interns are offered a position by their host company following completion of their virtual internship.

The National Association of Colleges and Employers (US) released their 2021 Job Outlook report noting, “Employers continue to indicate that internship experience is the deciding factor between two otherwise equally qualified candidates.”

Gain the skills employers want

Not only will you gain the experience you need, but you’ll also gain the soft skills employers actively want in new hires by working remotely including time management, prioritization, cultural awareness, and so much more.

It’s more than an internship

You’ll be supported throughout by your internship experience manager. You’ll develop core skills needed to advance in the future through our professional development hub of 12+ courses. You’ll have access to a career coach who will help you leverage your internship experience to land the job you want. And of course, you’ll gain the valuable experience you need.

It’s entirely accessible – no need to relocate, travel, or commute

Internships shouldn’t be available only to those that can afford to relocate to big cities or travel abroad. Virtual internships make real-world work experience with innovative, international companies accessible to all, regardless of your degree choice, location, or background.

The Steps to Apply For A Virtual Internship:
Step 1: Book your (min. 4 week language course and min 120 hour internship) programme with EC and then continue the application process online to specify your interests and future career goals

Step 2: Meeting VI’s enrolment team on a short video interview to learn more about you so that we can match you with the best host company

Step 3: Be matched with a host company perfectly suited to you in 6 weeks or less

Step 4: Begin your internship with a start date that suits you best

Step 5: Gain valuable, real-world professional experience on your internship, build your skills with our professional development hub, and gain clarity on your future career path with your personal career coach.

"Great"

DANIELA ALEXANDRA VASCO MONTEIRO, student from Angola

The classes were great. I enjoyed the teachers. I also took advantage of the facilities which helped me to progress in my studies. However, there was only one issue - when I needed to change classes I could not change because they were full.

"I found new friends from all over the world and I practiced English speaking and writing."

Elvira Ripco Sipos, student from Serbia

The school is in the neighborhood of the British Museum. Students are older than thirty years, so I felt comfortable between them. Every student has a notebook at the adequate level of the class and team. Everybody is free to talk about their own feelings and thought,. We learned about fashion, habit, mode of different countries. We talked about arts, occupation, and family matters and discussed relationships in the hierarchy and to be a leader in life.

"This course helped me become more self confident."

Rubens Figueira, student from Brazil

My experience was very good, but it was very short. In the same time, I had a Congress, but I recommend the course and in the future I intend to return.

"Very good experience"

Rafal Mofeed Abd Al-Husein Al-Saag, student from Iraq

I liked the EC teachers very much they are helpful and kind, the location is very good and the facilities are excellent. I did not book for accommodation so I do not have much information about that and to be honest I did not participate in activities so I can not tell about them. but generally the place was very good

"The most interesting travel because London and its cosmopolitan people make you feel good."

Jose Moya, student from Peru

The classes were very good. I think EC has created a very creative system of classes. You can choose how many hours per day you can study, and also in what topics you need to improve. The teachers are very different, some are pretty good and some are a little bit boring. In my opinion the teacher who are more spontaneous, open minded and pro-active are better. The location is just nice. Very close to tube station and in a nice zone. Facilities and think are great. The activities were not so great, you need to improve and have more creative activities so the students feel more interest to go. The housing was good. I was in residence near Bethnal Green station, and I think it is pretty good, with a lot of freedom, which is amazing, but the only big problem is the cleanliness. It is a little bit dirty. Sometimes because of the students, but some other times because it needs someone who can clean better and more regularly.

"Wonderful!"

Moana Cavalcante, student from Brazil

My experience in London was wonderful! I was tested to develop my skill of language and this started in the airport. I wasn't informed of a need to show the copy of my letter of acceptance to the school and needed explain to immigration my situation. I'm a person of very much luck! My Londoner's mother was an Italian Mrs. that cooked very well and always talked with me about everything. But, I had to wash my clothing out, there wasn't bath towel available and the communication with my country was very difficult because there wasn't internet in the house. In school the immersion is full! English every time, everywhere! The teachers are very well trained but sometimes arid. And the partners were nice people I call with them until today!

"The school is fantastic."

Aneta Górska-Baran, student from Poland

I liked the school and the teachers were helpful and friendly. The school is fantastic. Probably I will go to school to EC but for longer. Housing was moderately satisfactory. The bathroom was cold water because something wasn't working. The food was average good. Hosts were helpful and nice.

"Opening new horizons"

Sarul Bembeeva, student from Russia

I always think about my learning experience in EC Brighton as a very pleasant and useful time to spend. The classes were always interesting and fun without boring routine. Teachers are the main treasure of this school, so professional and ready to help. The location was very nice after the lessons you can enjoy seaside, and it is close to the center of the city. Facilities and study processes were perfect. At the moment, activities could be more various and interesting. I stayed with a family and they were lovely people. The accommodations were very good. But, I am lucky, because my friends had awful experience and needed to move several times. And, I visited student residence and to my mind, they have to be more comfortable.

"السكن + الدورات المكثفة"

Almuthana A. Alfaouri, student from Jordan

ملاحظات السكن:
قمت بتغير السكن بعد مناقشات و مفاوضات مطولة لانني لم اكن راض عن مستوى السكن بالبداية (السكن مع العائلة)
اتمنى ان يتم اعطاء خيارات عدة للسكن يختار الطالب من خلالها قبل وصوله الى لندنز
ملاحظات تخص الدورات المكثفة.
الدورات ليست مكثفة بالقدر الكافيز كانت شكوى مني ومن العديد من الزملاء هناك ان الدورات المكثفة لم تكن مكثفة بالشكل الكافي.

"Organised"

Cindy Nasr, student from France

everything is pretty organized at school the teachers are very nice and patient there is a good atmosphere but concerning the residence i feel it very expensive and not comfortable, almost nothing for cooking and unfortunately i slept 1week without heating the managers of the residence are not very reactive and nobody was here to meet me at the residence the first day, but now it's ok, thank you for asking after my feedback your agency is very serious and i will really recommend you, if you need any other details do not hesitate.

see you

Cindy

visa

Visa support

We cannot apply for visas on behalf of students. However, the school can supply you with all the documentation you need to support your visa application.

If you are studying in the UK for over 11 months, you will receive a reference number called a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) that you need to submit to the UK embassy along with your General Student Visa application. Students who have successfully booked a language course and have paid their fees will receive a CAS from EC London. Please note that UK law states that a CAS can only be issued to students who intend to pursue English language studies for over 11 months.

If you are studying in the UK for 11 months or less, you have to apply for a special visitor visa called a Student Visitor Visa. As a student visitor, you will not be able to work part-time while studying. If you plan to study in the UK for 11 months or less, a letter of acceptance will be sent to your home address by regular mail at no charge to you. If you wish to receive your paperwork by express mail, you will be charged £ 75 when you register.

Learn more about how to get a UK visa »

Flights and airport transfer

The closest airport to the school is London Heathrow Airport (LHR).

The school offers airport pickup services. If you wish to be picked up, just give us your flight details and arrival date. The price of a one-way airport transfer from London Heathrow Airport is £ 95. You must book your airport transfer in advance when you register.

Please note that we do not book flights for our students. If you are researching airfare costs, we recommend using Kayak.com, a search engine that lets you compare flight options from your home country to London based on your budget, schedule and preferences.

Travel insurance

Study abroad worry-free with Language International's health and personal effects insurance coverage. When you book a course with us, you can opt to purchase an international insurance plan that covers not only your health care cost but also loss of your personal belongings.
