Yes. You also can attend an internship with poor or few Spanish language skills, because you will attend an intensive Spanish language course of at least 4 weeks duration to prepare you for the internship or volunteer work.
We don´t believe so. The English level in general is very poor in Argentina and if you do not speak Spanish, everything will result difficult for you, especially finding a job or an internship place.

In Argentina you must know personally the decision making people. All companies and institutions like to know you personally before accepting you as an intern or volunteer. That´s why it is so difficult to receive a final acceptance only by your CV in advance while you are still in your home country. A binding acceptance you only will receive when you are available for personal interviews on location and with the right personal connections. Also many formalities have to be concluded.
You can travel before beginning you internship or project or after finishing it. On weekends you can make excursions and short-term travel.
Of course you will receive a certificate of completion of your language course and your internship or volunteer project!
Generally a tourist visa is sufficient, which can also be prolonged on location. The visa regulations are also due to changes and depend on your nationality. Please inform yourself about the current visa regulations.
At least a medical insurance abroad for the whole duration of your planned stay in South America. Also an accident and liability insurance are recommended. We recommend the full Protrip-World Insurance Cover.
Of course you are not alone on location! For all kind of enquiries and daily problems our coordinator will assist you on all eventually uprising problems. And do not forget: there are other volunteers on location the same time you are with us! You will never be alone.
You will forward us by time your exact arrival dates to ensure that we can welcome you at the airport in Córdoba. You should arrive on a weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) to begin with your language course on Monday morning.
No.
Yes, you will receive the negotiated stipend/incentive after the successfully completed work experience.
This is a funny question for us. Nobody in Argentina can afford to work for free. Nothing is for free in Argentina. To maintain this website, marketing, attending fairs, taxes, insurances, official requirements, the wages of our employees, teacher and assistants, the maintenance of the volunteer houses, telecommunication, transport allowances etc. cost a lot of money. All this has to be covered by the program fees.
You should have enough funds to travel to South America and to stay here a couple of weeks or months. Save money in your home country, ask your parents to help you, apply for a stipend in your home country or at your university, search for available scholarships. Argentina is an affordable travel country and you can live here quite cheaper than in Europe. With 300 Euro per month for living expensive additionally to the accommodation you can scratch along. Some things like beef or taxi lifts are quite cheap, other things are more expensive than in your home country. Do not believe it is possible or easy to find a job in Argentina or in South America and to cover the costs of your stay by the remuneration. Believe us, it is more convenient to work in your home country and to save money for your trip. Then you can enjoy Argentina and South America and you can see more of the beautiful country.
