Beyonders Share Their Experience on Our Program
“What I loved about Beyond Academy and why I choose them is because they are more flexible and more individually tailored to what each person is looking for, rather than just a generalised experience. My group and the entire Beyond community has been really welcoming. I am so lucky to be able to have this experience with people that are similar, as in we are all looking to grow personally, grow professionally and also just enjoy every moment. Everyone here has left behind the familiar and has come to the unfamiliar which can be scary, but when you have a community as good as this, it’s not scary at all.”

You’ve been looking forward to this; and soon, you’ll become the closest of friends!

Work hard to impress, then kick back in the evening at a community dinner; you might want to grab takeaways and head to one of Amsterdam’s beautiful green spaces to relax. Debrief your new friends on how your first day went; then take a water taxi home.
You’ll soon be faced with a range of new challenges as you get further into the busy world of entertainment. So it’s a good idea to boost your skills with a workshop; work with coaches and speakers to hone your core competencies and prepare yourself for the weeks ahead!

It’s already time for your first trip. Cruise along the beautiful canals of Amsterdam and take in all the sights the city has to offer. You’ll feel totally immersed in the heart of this atmospheric city.
Weeks 3 & 4
You’ve soon found yourself rising to meet the day-to-day challenges of your internship. You’re developing key skills in script and video editing software; and you’ve now got an eye for setting up that perfect shot. So take some time out with your manager to head to a coffee shop or café and discuss how you’re doing.
You’ll have met plenty of professionals already as you work in the entertainment industry; to help you as you grow your own network of contacts, we’ll be searching for the best networking event in Amsterdam. Head along and meet some top executives; in this industry, who you know can be just as important as what you know.
It’s time for your second trip – a market tour around the city! Learn about local culture, history, and cuisine as you explore Amsterdam. Finish off with a visit to the beautiful Old Town to discover a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Weeks 5 & 6
As you enter week five, your internship is nearing its end, and you’ve been looking back on what you’ve gained. Not only fantastic professional Television, Film, Theater, or Music experience and life-long friends and contacts; but a complete cultural education too! You’ve grown so much over just a few weeks; if you haven’t already, take your 1-to-1 coaching session to reflect on your experience with professional guidance. You can also use this time to plan out your next steps.
Your final trip is a visit to Zaanse Schans. There’s plenty to see and do at this historic sight; from freshly-baked food to museums and souvenirs. You’ll feel as if you’ve travelled back in time!
And before you know it, it’s time for your farewell dinner. Meet up with your community for one last time as you swap contact details and arrange your first group meet-up; then say goodbye. But before you leave Amsterdam, check off as much of the city’s attractions as you can. The Anne Frank Museum is an obvious choice; if you’re looking for something more offbeat, visit the floating De Poezenboot – cat boat – and pet some kittens!
