Internship & Vocational Training Programme

Course details

The use of English as the international language means of communication continues to grow and most people study English at some stage in their career. For some, classroom learning is not enough; it is also essential to be fully confident in the use of English in the workplace. To meet this need, the CEC Internship Programme is specially designed to enable you to combine learning English in an excellent language school with practical work experience.

There are two parts to an Internship Programme. The first is a full time English Course for a minimum of 4 weeks. The second is a period of work placement (internship) with a company or organisation specially chosen to match, as closely as possible, your profession or subject of study. We offer internships in a large number of workplaces covering a wide range of professions including:

ACCOMMODATION
