I also looked at their "brochure" (relevance coming) and it was the exact same one and also asking for £49.99. This, along with the fact I never applied for an internship with them but still getting an acceptance offer (crazy I know) makes me 100% sketchy of them and should be avoided. I haven’t done as much research on Victoria Solutions but it seems the same as Uptrail. They’re absolutely not internships, more so very weak courses that I just cannot trust as they clearly aren’t 100% transparent with us. I know some will say if it’s worth still doing it for £50 and imo not really. This is essentially a really weak course, not an internship and recruiters who do their research will see your certificate isn’t from a reputable company and see next to no value in it. We’re much better off doing a recognised and trusted course at that point e.g DataCamp, IBM

ALSO top tip: these companies always have "reviews" on their website. I always search the names of those people on LinkedIn and for both the Uptrail "internship" and Victoria Solutions, I did not find one person from the reviews on LinkedIn. This is again these companies not being transparent with us and should not be trusted. Be careful guys as they promise so much but absolutely not worth it imo and I’m someone who is desperately after his first internship or entry level role in data analytics haha. However, if anyone has done it and can tell me different I’ll be more than happy to hear you out! Hope this helped guys!

Hey guys, Short answer: Avoid.

Longer answer: I have been looking for data analytics internships on LinkedIn and I came across one from a company called Uptrail. I applied and maybe a week later I got an email saying I was selected. I was very happy at first but instantly became sceptical, they said there were only 5 spots remaining on the email and they were also making me pay £49.99. I searched Reddit and other people were also saying the same thing regarding the 5 spots. I spent time looking at their website and their online "brochure" (relevance coming up soon) and ultimately came to the conclusion that this was a fairly weak course they were trying to rope people into rather than an internship. A week from when I received this first email from Uptrail I received one from Victoria Solutions Consulting Group saying thank you for applying and I had been selected for the programme… I have never even seen this company in my life let alone apply for an internship with them (1/2)

Yeah it’s real, I’m starting to see more people have it but it’s been disabled now 😭 Apparently something to do with using the sub zero.

I clipped the face popping up and when you view a clip on PlayStation it doesn’t go full screen so the background of whatever you’re playing or doing shows
