“The procedure for obtaining my visa was quick, simple and structured. I was accompanied by BUNAC. Even during my assignment, BUNAC checked to make sure that everything was going well for me. They are very attentive. I'd like to thank Kira Watson specifically for her help and for listening to me!”

“Currently in the process of getting my working holiday visa sorted for Australia. Going with the kickstart program with Bunac. Wanted to drop a shout-out and say a big thank you to Ed Sayers, who has been a delight to talk to, whilst looking at the best options with packages for my move to Australia and kept in touch throughout. He is knowledgeable and has a friendly approachable nature when building dialogue. All the best in NZ Ed! Cheers!!”

“Firstly I found that the information wasn't hugely forthcoming both prior to and after paying. Secondly after finding the list of potential job in America once paying I decided that none were right for me. I had been told that the Bunac deposit was refundable. Bunac told me that this was not the case. I was told that I had access for life, which I said I didn't specifically need. I understand that companies have their own policies but I might have expected a little flexibility given I had been explicitly told that the deposit was refundable.”

Thank you for your feedback, Oliver! We are sorry to hear that you found that none of the jobs that we had on our database were right for you. We have a wide range of jobs across different cities in the US and they all fall into the casual job category to meet the visa and programme requirements. We understand your frustration. As per the Terms and Conditions on our website, the deposit is non-refundable however you do have the option to move your application to next year or to switch to another BUNAC programme. If you have any follow up questions about this, please email us on info@bunac.org - BUNAC Team

“Boy where do I start with this 1 Give me one solid reason why you cant apply for more than one camp at a time? This itself wouldn't be a problem if they responded within 3 or 4 days.....but 7 weeks?? This shouldn't be a thing 2 BUNAC is not helpful at all when it comes to answering questions and providing crucial details that can effect the entire process. When I was on my way to finally book flights I found out (emphasis on I) That visa takes 10 days to complete which made it so I was too late for what we had planned for summer and ultimately messed everything up 3 W H E R E D I D M Y £500 G O???? 4 combine all of this with no refunds :) Just why?”

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with BUNAC. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the process; we explain the process and timelines as clear as possible to our camp participants when they initially sign up so we are really disappointed to hear you we unhappy with it. You can only be on review with one camp at a time to make it fair for you and the camp and give you both a fair chance to interview and discuss summer employment. We see that you have postponed your camp plans to next year and that our team have moved your £369 programme fee over for summer 2024. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we rely on it as we continuously strive to improve. Thank you again for your review. - BUNAC Team

“The whole team at BUNAC is incredibly competent and responsive with regard to the Intern in Britain program. I can't thank Kira, especially, and Emma enough for their attentiveness and resourcefulness. The visa process can be stressful and tumultuous but BUNAC works with you to alleviate that as much as they can. I thoroughly recommend the company's services!”

“The way the hiring pool works makes no sense, you can only apply to one camp at a time and 90% of them don’t reply even after 5 days so you have to take yourself off review and apply to the next one. When emailing questions to the BUNAC team they weren’t helpful and didn’t answer my questions and even though I started applying for camps in February, I wasn’t placed until May with only a month to get my visa/ flights ect, meaning that I couldn’t actually arrive in time for camp. In future, I would go with another provider.”

Thank you for your feedback, Betsy! We are really disappointed to hear that you were unhappy with our hiring pool. You can only be on review with one camp at a time so that it gives you and the camps a chance to explore employment opportunities. We understand that you were in the hiring pool for quite a while and that this can be disheartening, however we see that you rejected a number of camps which would have prolonged the amount of time you were in there. We understand that our camp team helped you get hired so that you could get to the US for the summer, and that all of your queries were answered through email. We appreciate your feedback, and we really do hope you have a great summer at camp! - BUNAC Team
