FAQ

What about SA200 and SA200Reg courses and their enrolment?
You register for the SA200Reg course one semester before the semester you want to do your internship.
Example: you want to do your internship in the fall semester. So, you will register for SA200Reg in the previous spring semester - you will also start looking for an internship in this semester. You will then submit an internship proposal. In the fall semester, the semester you want to do your internship, you will register for SA200. You will not be able to enroll in this course without an approved internship proposal.

Which documents need to be submitted and when?

• Internship Proposal - at least 14 days prior to your intended start date.
• Internship acceptance report - at least 14 days after the start of the internship.
• Interim documents (statement of work and interim report) - in the 4th week of the internship.
• Final documents - after completing the compulsory part (400 hrs), you will notify us that you have finished your internship and you will hand in your work report within 3 days. You will submit the other final documents (completion report, final report and video presentation) no later than 10 days before the end of the exam period.

Do I only have to choose from SPP member companies?
No, however, we recommend that you subscribe to the SPP newsletter. You can find an internship in any company or part of a company that deals with IT.

Can I be self-employed?
Unfortunately no. Accepted legal forms of internship are FTE/PTE, HPP (full or part-time) or Internship Agreement.
