Since its great success last year, our internship programme will offer again an introduction period in the first three weeks of the internship including lectures organised by our Langford Academy to ensure you are fully prepared for the year ahead! This course will include a fantastic mix of hands-on practical training, case-based teaching and engaging lectures all aimed at elevating your skills and setting you up for success.
