Why this internship?
FU International Academy offers young cosmeticians and hairstyling students the chance to gain valuable and relevant qualifications through Hair and Beauty Internships in Tenerife. Through this experience, interns have the chance to both familiarize themselves with completely new treatments and use the knowledge obtained during their apprenticeship to help further their career, while also having the chance to explore Tenerife through different leisure activities and group excursions.
Interns start this program with a one-week basic Spanish course in order to linguistically prepare for their work experience, specifically learning language associated with cosmetology and hair styling. The Hair and Beauty students can choose specialized courses to learn new techniques as guided and evaluated by professionals.
After their theoretical training, participants spend 4 to 6 weeks at work placements in hair and nail salons, as well as hotel spas. Here, students work hands-on with local clients as they complete specific tasks including the application of hair extensions; hair washing, coloring and styling techniques; and/or massage, nail and makeup technique. This allows interns to build confidence in their chosen profession through real work experience as they learn about local work practices.
So don’t wait! Experience what it’s like to manage a busy schedule, make new friends and explore the tropical island of Tenerife!

Testimonials
Those places impressed me
This project was an amazing experience for me because I learned many things, I visited places which impressed me, I met wonderful people and I created memories which will never be forgotten. The workshops were interesting and interactive, managing to catch your attention very easily. I am very happy because I participated in this project and I would repeat this experience any time.
The program was wonderful
After the 2 weeks spent in Tenerife, I will stay with a very good impression about this program. I have learned what teamwork really means and that we have to collaborate. Not only that the program was wonderful, but also the excursions and the exotic landscape of Tenerife.
Beautiful Tenerife and awesome people
Erasmus + gave us the opportunity to go to Tenerife and get a lot of new knowledge. I was very excited to go on the trip because I have been in love with Spain and their culture since mine childhood. I was talking to local people in Spanish and have improved my Spanish. I am enthusiastic about Spanish people because they are so warm and friendly. Life in Spain is slower than ours and I like this a lot. The ocean is very nice and I like those big waves. If you are not careful enough, you quickly fall into the water.
It feels good to learn in the sun
My experience about this trip where I come to learn and to visit new places was magnificent! I am amazed by all things I did and I saw like the ocean, the beach, the mountain Teide - And the pleasure learning in sun, with all new people I meet, friendly faces who are always nice to you. It feels good to learn in the sun.
SHORT BUT SWEET
The second I stepped of the airplane I loved every single thing I saw. The weather, the palm trees, the kindness of Spanish people and Spanish language of course. Of course, the atmosphere was a lot better because I had my friends by my side and throughout the whole trip we’ve been a support system for each other. Three weeks in another country doesn’t sound so much, but after you’re putten in a different environment for this long you start to miss your home and your loved ones. But this is kind of the best part because with that I’ve learned how to be independent. The whole experience was amazing and I hope it is not my last time, actually I know I’ll come here again. If not to study then just on a vacation.
