What is the structure of the internship?

During your induction, your coach will agree a week-by-week schedule with you. This will include online learning for your new skills. Moreover, your own interests will be matched with one of our conservation projects or sustainable causes. Then, you will put your new skills into practice by working for your chosen cause. This could be a wildlife project or a related subject such as marine protection or responsible business. Every week you will have one personal training session with your coach to track your progress.

Can I get a refund if I change my mind?

No problem. If you decide you want to stop, at any time during your internship, then you will receive a refund for any of the remaining months. Likewise, if you want to continue for longer, then you just pay for each extra month. We are pleased to say that most of our interns are satisfied and extend their internship or even come back for a second time. Read their reviews
