Testimonials

  • I just completed the Airbus work experience and it was excellent. The software was easy to understand and use, the content was great. I liked that you can see the course after you've finished it, and all the work was checked and approved speedily, which was great.

  • I completed the Airbus work experience and would recommend virtual work experience to anyone! It's very convenient and fits around studies very well, a great addition to any CV and I'm already adding some of the work I completed to my professional portfolio in interviews! If you're thinking about it...do it!

  • The interactive elements were a good challenge, and the mix of worksheets, webinars and videos flowed really well. The webinars were also particularly informative and it was great being able to ask questions, as well as hear from dedicated and enthusiastic employees. I don't think you can ask for much more than that!
