Beyond Academy Reviews 

I recently completed a social media marketing internship at a furniture e-commerce company in London, and I can confidently say it was one of the most valuable experiences of my professional journey so far.

From day one, the team was incredibly welcoming and supportive. They not only guided us through our tasks but also went the extra mile to ensure we felt part of the company culture. Weekly integration activities were a highlight, allowing us to connect with other interns, build professional relationships, and create genuine friendships.

The work itself was both challenging and rewarding. I gained hands-on experience managing social media campaigns, creating engaging content, and analyzing performance metrics—all of which have significantly strengthened my skills and boosted my confidence. This experience has already opened new doors for me in the job market, making me feel much more prepared and competitive for future roles in digital marketing.

Overall, I’m extremely happy with my time at the company. The combination of professional development, networking opportunities, and a truly supportive team environment made this internship exceptional. I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking to gain real-world experience, especially in the fast-paced and creative world of social media marketing.

I found Beyond Academy to be a super helpful experience for both my social life and career. Through my internship, I have a better idea of what I want to do and decided on the industry I’d pursue. Additionally, I met many great, unique people that taught me a lot about ambition and work-life balance. However, the program was sloppy and unorganized at times. In the beginning, I was urged to pay a lot of money before I met with the instructor, which I didn’t feel comfortable with. While I got lucky with my internship, my friends got internships where they didn’t really do anything all day, and one of them had to go to an apartment for her office. I think putting in more effort to screen companies as well as trying to get better internships would go a long way. Despite the shortcomings, I want to stress that the program was a great learning opportunity, and I feel more ambitious and self-sufficient as a result.

A BASIC THOUGHTLESS COMPANY...WAISTED OVER $3000 ON THIS INTERNSHIP PROGRAM. NO HELP FROM STAFF TO OFFER ALTERNATIVES AS MY TABLET CAMERA WASN'T WORKING PROPERLY. THEY STATE I WASN'T PREPERED FOR THE INTERVIEW WITH THE HOST COMPANIES, WHICH IS FALSE. I WAS PREPARED, I ASKED CAN WE MAKE ALTERNATIVE ARRAGNGMENTS DUE TO THE DIFFIFCUTLTIES, BUT THEY HAVEN'T MANAGED OFFER ME SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBELM I WAS FACING. THEY DON'T WANT TO REFUND MY MONEY THAT THEY STOLE....MY PARENTS ARE ANGRY AT THEIR DECISION

Beyond is really helpful in getting the beyond the scenes details completed so you can focus more on the fun and the work you have to do

My time in Barcelona with Beyond Academy was a truly remarkable experience. I got to live in an amazing city, surrounded by the beach and the vibrant Spanish and Catalan culture. To me, the most memorable parts of the program are all the friendships I made and the great nightlife! Our community coordinator Isabel was like a big sister, always ready to help, and organized fun events we all enjoyed a lot - often with drinks and meals included. We all felt very well guided and it enhanced our experience a lot. The internship itself was very insightful and helped me in my professional growth, gave me insights into new industries, and I learned a lot. I also made valuable professional connections and felt like I had a good life-work-balance in Barcelona as well! Our accommodation was nice, with a view of the Sagrada Família. However, there was a very big hidden fee for the use of AC (which is very necessary in Barcelona), that was not properly communicated and not listed in the accommodation contract we all signed. Overall, the program is also a bit expensive for what you get. And you have to be really specific with the Beyond Academy staff who are responsible for role matching with your host company. They were sometimes inattentive to my requests, and you have to be very specific about what you do and do not want!! They’ll also try to push you into roles you’re not really interested in. I did end up finding a great host company, though.

You would never have this chance or time in your life to explore all these beautiful and interesting adventures!

Therefore, why don’t you just take the shoot and give yourself a chance to try. Surprises may coming up

I had a lovely time with Beyond Academy! My accommodation was great and loved the people I lived with in our ShareHouse. The Beyond Academy team was so insightful and responsive! My internship was not the best fit but I had a great time regardless! Can’t recommend Beyond Academy enough.

The Community Team helped us experience the city and gave us any internal support we needed if there was issues with our internships or our housing. They made it a great experience. The city of Barcelona is great to live in and there are many small business internship opportunities. Go to as many events as you can because you will get to meet people and explore the city!

Beyond Academy is helping you to find a job in your field. Afterwards, they are sending all the information needed for your departure. During the program, there are coordinators, who are ready to answer and assist with any question you could possibly ask. Every Thursday and Sunday (sometimes also Saturday) there are events, organized by Beyond Academy, which are basically helping you shape your social life as well as give a chance to explore the city as a local. Tokyo was an amazing destination for a summer internship - full of people and new experiences. It is a challenge to have even a single boring day.

I’d always wanted to visit Japan, and when I started looking for a summer internship, Beyond Academy seemed like a great option and I’m really glad I went with them. It was my first internship and my first time traveling alone, so going halfway across the world felt intimidating at first. But having a built-in community through Beyond Academy made a huge difference.
The Tokyo community team was incredibly kind and welcoming, and it was great to have people to explore Japan with. Some of my favorite events were the day trip to Enoshima Island and the visit to TeamLab Planets. I’m more of a “tag-along” than a planner, so I really appreciated the weekly events that helped me experience Tokyo without needing to research and organize everything myself. At the same time, there was enough flexibility to explore independently.
I stayed in the accommodation provided by Beyond: a sharehouse which was clean and comfortable for an 8-week stay. The rooms were small but sufficient for the 2 months I was there.
I also had a great experience with my host company. My coworkers were friendly and supportive, and the tasks I was assigned were manageable. I had signed up for a Software Development internship but ended up working more with AI and query tuning than hands-on coding. Still, as my first internship, it was a good learning experience and gave me insight into a professional work environment.
One thing I was nervous about before arriving was the transportation system—I had never even taken a subway before. But I quickly got the hang of it; Tokyo’s public transit is incredibly efficient. I did have to figure out routes to events on my own, but it became easier with time.
One thing to keep in mind is the summer weather. I was there from June through July, and the heat and humidity were intense, especially if you're not used to subtropical weather. I absolutely loved my time here and definitely plan to return someday, but next time I think I’ll visit during a cooler season.

My internship experience with beyond academy was excellent. The coordinators were approachable and very helpful. I had a great time at the community events. There was a nice variety of options in terms of community activities, and I always enjoyed my time there.

My internship was incredibly insightful even though it was not in my top field, but I learned many skills and can build up my resume. The community team was delightful and such nice people to be around, and I’m truly grateful for all they did to make us feel less alone.

I absolutely loved doing this program. I will admit, in the beginning through the application process and interviews and such I had a really hard time with communicating as well as the language they use makes you have to rush through it all quickly. Even with that being said the actual program itself is so amazing. I am so glad that I was able to come and do this opportunity. It has given me professional experience as well as so many new personal connections. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to live abroad and really soak in the culture through daily life. It really has been such a fun experience.

I loved my internship in Seoul, South Korea, coordinated by Beyond Academy! It can be really scary to go to a new country where you don’t really speak the language and there are large cultural differences from what you’re used to but Beyond Academy was so helpful in helping me adjust and find community! There were tons of really cool activities, the internship was very eye-opening about what I may want to do in the future, and the office environment was incredibly friendly. Overall, I think it is a really formative experience to go to a new country where there are stark cultural differences while you are young to help you appreciate the diversity of the world and the importance of learning about different cultures.

I absolutely loved this program. I went to Tokyo, Japan for my internship and it was just absolutely amazing. I really enjoyed my time there and the friends I made inside the program Everything was very well coordinated and planned out, very easy to go through the steps of interviewing and selecting a company to work for. Support was easy to get and communicate with if you had any issues or problems. There were also many community events for you to explore new places and meet other people who are doing the same program as you so you can make friends. I would definitely recommend to anyone who can to do this.

Weekly events, new friends and experiences, and cultural immersion.

Great experience! The placement team found me an opportunity that adjacently aligned with my field (due to there being obstacles surrounding my working directly in my field), and I was able to grow professionally and do quality work. The community team were super supportive and kind, hosting many events to allow you to meet other interns! However, the placement team was not very communicative and a lot of the process was last minute, making planning difficult.

Beyond Academy was great. Super nice and supportive people. You get to connect with other interns and do all sorts of events throughout the city.

I went through career coaching which helped in my interviews. They placed me with a job that I liked and it was a great opportunity for me. They were very communicative, always hosting events and helping other interns out. I was able to see many places across Japan, and contribute meaningful work to my company. The accommodation is simple but nice aswell!

This company was incredible when it came to events, help, accommodations and people. It was an awesome experience and it helped know i would have friends going into it!
