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.

I like my teacher because were a very expansive and more kind.
I don't like the started of the lesson because I had the lesson at 1:00 pm and it was not very comfortable for me
I chose private lessons to get the most impact during the short period of time I was in New York. My teacher Claire Giovino was a really inspiring teacher and she was really good at giving me personal feedback on my learning goals that she also helped me define during the first lesson.
I have the greatest respect and gratitude for her way of teaching me, and i'm impressed by how much my English skills improved after my six lessons.
The staff in the school were very nice, the teachers were nice, the location is perfect, there were too many students in the class, though. The groups were too big, there is no focus in your needs, it was just a general class. The school is too expensive for what you get.
Show details » Read more...I loved my teachers and the location of the school was perfect! So close to my residence (the New Yorker, which, by the way, was horrible), and close to almost everything! All in all I enjoyed my stay in NYC very much.
Show details » Read more...I spent 12 weeks in EC NY. The school is very good. The teachers are mostly good and kind. The activities are awesome, and you can make a lot of friends there.
The best part of all is the location - very central.
The teachers were really nice! I did not feel that I learnt that much, but it was fun going to class anyway.
Show details » Read more...I've been to EC four times for week. First time was excellent, but the last one was very bad.
I spoke less than twenty minutes in classes during the week at my last visit EC. My mistakes were not corrected. The studied material was not repeated in subsequent classes.
We spent a lot of time on strange games and activities that didn't help me study English. For example, we were looking for something on the Internet in the class - I could work with computer at home. Another example: we had to imagine ourselves that we are blind and go from one room to another with eyes closed and look for something there.
In spite of this, you can find excellent teachers in EC.
Regarding my experience in EC, actually it was very short and I cannot judge whether it is good or not.
However, my notes as follows:
-The tuition cost is higher than the other school
-School faculty are not skillful enough
Moreover, when the student having a good basis in English language, unfortunately there is no technique to sharpen the student's skills and improve his language.
Very good. It would be great if I have offers in next English classes.
Show details » Read more...I especially appreciated the school's location in the middle of Manhattan. I was also lucky because I only had good teachers. I heard from other students that one or two teachers were really bad and lazy. One negative point that I have to say, it is that the wireless was very bad.
Show details » Read more...I think is a really good school because the teachers are very professional and the location of the school is great too.
Show details » Read more...I liked the classes, teachers, location, friendly and social activities in EC. I did like my time in NYC, two weeks. It was not enough.
Show details » Read more...Some teachers were really great, but mostly they were bad, boring, and didn't teach a lot. Activities were great. Location of the school is great. For learning English I wouldn't recommend this school. But if a person wants to have fun, to see NY, to meet new people and to have some classes, the school is good for that.
Show details » Read more...I'm really grateful to everyone who helped me to choose EC. I was in NYC for 3 weeks and they were probably the most amazing weeks ever! Lots of activities to do, and excellent teachers (Anastasia, Nathan and Adriana). Really cool and useful. I could go to D. C. and see everything I wished of American history. So I can conclude than New York is a wonderful city. There is everything in it; everyone can find something special and enjoy it.
Show details » Read more...The school is excellent and teachers are awesome. They really encourage you to learn the language. I took the 4-week TOEFL Crash Course and there was a lot of work to do, but the teachers really made it quite easy. They really helped me a lot, I got 108 on TOEFL test a week after I finished my course in the school.
Show details » Read more...Classes and teachers are very good, but I think the number of students in some groups sometimes is bigger than it should be. Location of the school and dorm where I lived is perfect! Times square, what can be better?
Housing in EHS was pretty good, Actually it's hard for me to say what I didn't like, 'cause I value location, people and view from my window much more than personal comfort.
