Common questions
Why is the internship paid?
This is structured industrial training, not unsupervised attachment. The fee covers your supervision, practical sessions, the equipment and software you use, your assessment and your completion documents.
When do I pay?
Nothing is paid when you apply. If you are offered a place, your offer letter states the fee, the date to pay by and how to pay. Your place is confirmed once payment is received.
Can my university confirm my placement?
Yes. Your offer letter carries a QR code and a verification code that your university can check online at any time. We also complete your logbook and assessment forms.
Do I need a laptop?
A laptop helps, but it is not required. Tell us on the form and we will plan a workstation for you.
I am not a student. Can I apply?
Yes. Recent graduates, self-taught learners and career changers are welcome to apply.
