In September a group of 16 students from Drobeta-Turnu Severin, Romania together with their teacher were hosted by euroMind in Malaga to gain a 3-weeks internship as a car mechanics.

Students had an amazing opportunity to see how Spanish car service centres work and take part in daily life with workers. Trainees were working on different tusk, helping with the installation and replacement of car air conditioning. Assisting in aligning and repairing wheels. Assisting in inspecting and testing new vehicles to detect potential faults. Helping in lifting the vehicle to a specified level, using a hydraulic jack. Disassembling units such as engines, gearbox etc. using manual or electric tools. Performing basic services and repair activities related to car servicing, i.e., oil and filters change, defective parts replacement, washing of the engine and other car components. Evaluating the quality of mechanical, electrical, and electronic vehicle equipment operations. Selecting and using measurement instruments and diagnostic equipment in the vehicles. Using diagnostic computers and oscilloscopes in the workplace


During their stay in Malaga, the trainees not only developed their work skills, but they also took part in different cultural activities such as Malaga tour, Malaga Boat Trip Catamaran and workshops which allowed them to get acquainted with Spanish culture and feel like Spanish people in the city of Malaga.
Students also had the opportunity to go Nerja, located on the eastern end of the Costa del Sol, has all the elements needed to charm any visitor. Its annual average temperature of around twenty degrees Celsius, its beautiful mountain landscape of La Axarquía region, as well as its rugged coastline of beaches and cliffs, are just some of its attractions where they were swimming and had fun.

The group was given very intensive Spanish lessons with our Spanish Teacher. euroMind’s teaching methods were very effective as they made learning fun through playing games and creating an enjoyable atmosphere in the class. The Spanish classes can be described by 2 words: dynamic and practical! We used an interactive method of teaching based on learning by practising. This means that grammar was covered as much as possible by using practical situations. Therefore, speaking and actively using the language is crucial and central in all our activities delivered. After intensive and hard learning, the students had a written an exam. All the participants passed with very good results!
