Our promise

No fee to join, ever

Joining an EDWartens internship has no fee, no deposit and no hidden step.

We will not ask you to pay before you can start the lessons, and you can finish all eight weeks without buying anything. If you choose to pay for proof, the price is shown in your own currency before you pay, and the lessons stay free either way.

Stay safe

How do I spot a fake internship that charges a fee?

Some offers called internships are really a sales page. Look for these six signs before you pay anyone.
  1. It asks for a fee before you see a lesson.A registration, security or training fee at the start is the most common sign.
  2. It promises a certificate or an offer of work before you have done anything.Nobody can promise work to a stranger who has not started.
  3. There is no company name, address or registration number.A mobile number or a chat handle on its own is not a business.
  4. The certificate has no number and no way to check it.A real one carries a number or a QR code that opens a public check.
  5. You are told to pay today or lose your place.Pressure is a tactic. A genuine programme gives you time.
  6. The money goes to a personal account.A company takes payment into a company account and gives a receipt.

A real programme can still sell optional extras. The difference is that you can learn first, the extras are listed in the open, and every document can be checked by anyone.

Questions

Free internship questions, answered

Is there a free internship with a certificate?

The internship is free. The certificate is an optional paid add-on, so we never call it free. You can finish all the lessons, weekly checks and the final quiz without paying anything. If you want proof, you can add a certificate that anyone can verify with a QR code.

Do I have to pay anything to join?

No. Joining has no fee, no deposit and no card. You sign up, choose a start date and a length, and start the first lesson.

What would I pay for?

Only the optional extras: the internship certificate, a joining letter, reports, a letter of appreciation, an extra project, a mentor call, and printed or framed copies for India only. Every price is shown in your own currency before you pay.

Is it a real internship if it is free?

It is online training, not employment, so no stipend is paid and no work for a company is promised. It is run by Wartens Ltd (UK) and delivered through EDWartens. What you get is real learning with a record of what you did.

Why is it free to join?

The lessons are free so that anyone can learn. We earn only from the optional extras that people choose to add. That is how the lessons stay free.

Can I really finish without paying?

Yes. All eight weeks, the weekly checks and the final quiz are free, and you can retry the checks and the quiz as often as you like. Paying changes nothing about your access to the lessons.

How do I know the certificate is real?

Every document has a number and a QR code. Anyone can scan it, or type the number on edwartens.com/verification, and see the name, the internship and the date. Samples are on the sample documents page.

Will my college accept it?

Credit is your university's decision, and we do not claim approval from any board or council. The verifiable documents and the page for colleges are there to help your department check what you did.

Can I join from outside India?

Yes. The internships are online and open to every country. Optional extras are priced in your currency, and printed and framed copies are for India only.
