International Work
Experience.
Before you arrive.
Six months of reviewed project work before you fly. Six more after you land.
Months 1–6, while you are still at home waiting on offers, intakes and visa decisions, you work through real briefs and a named Project Manager reviews them. Months 7–12, after you land, you keep going alongside your semesters — so when internship and graduate applications open, you are sending finished, reviewed work instead of an empty local CV. €999 for the twelve months.

Show employers international experience—not an empty CV.
What you get, every month.
No CV screen, no interview and no waiting list. You choose a brief and start. Everything you build is yours to keep, permanently, whether you stay a member or not.
A real brief, every fortnight
Ten tasks over two weeks, in one of five project domains — Startup and Entrepreneurship, Strategy and Operations, Marketing and Sales, Product and Research, Data and AI. The criteria are published before you start, so nobody grades to fit what you happened to produce.
Live one-to-one sessions
15-minute calls with a named Project Manager who has at least five years in that field — three a month on the monthly plan, ten a month on the twelve-month plan, booked when you need them. Reviewers are paid by the hour, not per submission, so careful review is rewarded rather than rushed.
Written feedback, then a record
Written feedback on your work within seven days, and on completion a record stating what you did and what it was judged against — with a code an employer can check.
Monthly, rolling
Three 15-minute sessions a month. Pause it for exams or a holiday and restart when you are ready. Cancel any time.
One-time, twelve months
Ten 15-minute sessions a month, booked on demand — two and a half hours of Project Manager time, every month. The full programme paid once — same briefs, same reviewers, same record.
Fees cover project briefs, Project Manager review and career support — not recruitment or job placement. Employment is not guaranteed.
What you will not have to buy later.
Career help usually arrives after the rejections start, and it is usually sold separately. Everything below is already inside the price.
Guidance while the work is still in your hands
Three to ten 15-minute one-to-one sessions a month, depending on your plan, and written feedback within seven days, for as long as you are a member. It reaches you while the project can still change — not months afterwards, when the only thing left to rewrite is the CV.
No certificate to upgrade to
We do not sell a credential and we do not intend to: no accreditation, no ECTS, no badge. So there is no premium tier that makes the first purchase count, and nothing to buy again when an application goes quiet. What you receive is a description of work that somebody judged.
A named person, not a template
Not a chatbot, not a forum, not a general careers talk. Someone with five or more years doing that work reads what you produced, against criteria published before you began. Our reviewer bench is strongest in Ireland today and grows with demand.
What we are not going to tell you. We will not put a figure on what you might otherwise spend, or quote what anyone else charges — we do not know, and a number invented to make €999 look small would be the first dishonest thing on this page. What we can tell you is exactly what sits inside it: twelve months of briefs, a named reviewer, three to ten live sessions a month depending on plan, written feedback within seven days, and a record you keep permanently. Nothing in this programme is sold to you a second time.
One record you can share with employers.
After you finish a project, a manager checks it. You then receive a record that you can add to job applications.
- Your project work is checked
- Your manager’s feedback is saved
- Employers can view your verification link
Irish Fintech Market Entry Analysis

you are moving to.
Tell us your destination when you apply and we match you to the closest fit on our reviewer bench. That bench is strongest in Ireland right now, and it grows with demand rather than ahead of it — we would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
Months 1–6 Before you go
You are in India, Brazil, Nigeria or Vietnam, waiting on offers, college intakes and a visa decision. That wait is the most wasted asset in the whole journey. You use it instead: one brief a fortnight, done from home or from a partner campus where we have one, each reviewed by a named Project Manager. By the time you fly you are carrying a record with dates on it. This is the half you can only do early — which is the entire reason to start twelve months out rather than on arrival.
Months 7–12 After you land
You continue alongside your semesters, at whatever pace the course leaves you, right up to the point that matters: the weeks when internship and graduate-visa application windows open. Most students reach that moment with a local CV showing only whatever part-time work paid the rent. You reach it adding to a portfolio that already has reviewed work in it, with the earliest entries dated before you arrived.
Why local review matters
AI will write the document and then tell you it is excellent. It will not tell you that you answered the question they asked instead of the one they meant, or that the way you framed it reads badly to a hiring manager in that country. That judgement is the part a human still has to do — and it is the part we pay for by the hour.
It works if you never move at all
Visa rules tighten, plans change, families change their minds. The work you do here and the record you get do not depend on anyone granting you anything. Nothing about Nap OS requires you to leave your country — which is exactly why it still has value if you decide not to.
Show that you are ready to study and work abroad.
Moving to another country can be difficult. A degree or test score may not show everything you can do. Nap OS works alongside tests such as IELTS and GMAT by giving you real project experience that employers can check.
The months you cannot get back.
The hard part of moving abroad is not the admission. It is the first year after you land, when the time you need and the time you have stop matching.
Rent starts before your career does.
You land with nothing localGood grades, a degree nobody here has heard of, and no work anyone in this country can check.
You take the job that is availableRetail, delivery, a warehouse. It pays the rent, and that matters. It also takes your evenings.
The windows open earlyInternship and graduate applications tend to open in the first months of a course, not at the end of it — exactly when you are least ready.
The clock is shorter than it wasThe UK’s post-study Graduate route drops from 24 months to 18 for applications from 1 January 2027. Less room to catch up later.
Use the time that is already free.
The waiting months are the free onesBetween an offer and a flight you are mostly waiting on paperwork. That is the only stretch of this journey with real hours in it.
You arrive with work, not plansA brief a fortnight, reviewed by a named Project Manager, criteria published before you start. Finished work with dates on it.
You have something to put beside the part-time jobA CV that reads warehouse shifts and three reviewed projects is a different document from one that reads warehouse shifts.
It keeps going after you landMonths seven to twelve run alongside your semesters, so the portfolio is still growing when the applications open.
We are not telling you to turn down the part-time job. On an Irish student permission you may work 20 hours a week in term time and 40 during the holidays, and for most students that income is not optional. Nap OS does not pay your rent and does not claim to remove the need to earn. What it changes is what sits beside that job on your CV when the internship window opens — and the cheapest time to build that is the six months before you fly, when you are not yet paying foreign rent.
The plain version, for the person writing the cheque.
Most of the time the student chooses this and a parent pays for it. So here it is without the sales language.
Twelve months of reviewed work.
A brief every fortnightTen tasks, criteria published before they start, in a field they choose.
A named person reading itFive or more years in that field, paid by the hour so the review is unhurried.
A record they keepWhat they did and what it was judged against, with a link an employer can check. Theirs permanently, whether they stay with us or not.
Four things we will not sell you.
Not a jobWe are legally barred from charging a jobseeker to find them work. Employment is not guaranteed.
Not a visaNo third party improves a visa decision, and anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something.
Not a qualificationNot accredited, no credits, not a degree or a diploma.
Not insuranceWe are not an insurer and this is not a policy. Nothing pays out if things go wrong — it is a programme of work, and we would rather say so than borrow a word that sounds like protection.
It holds whichever way the next two years go. If they travel on schedule, they arrive with finished work instead of a plan. If the dates slip, the work carries on from home. And if they decide not to go at all — or a rule changes and the decision is made for them — the projects and the record are still theirs, and still worth showing to an employer in their own country. Nothing in this programme depends on anyone being granted anything.
What Nap OS is not.
Most of this industry leads with what it promises. Here is what we are not allowed to promise, and what we have chosen not to claim.
Not a job placement service
We are a Licensed Employment Agency (EA 5651) and Irish law forbids us from charging a jobseeker to find them work. So we do not. What you are paying for is practice and assessment. Employment is not guaranteed, and anyone who guarantees it to you should worry you.
Not a qualification
Nap OS is not accredited. There is no ECTS value and no NFQ level, and a record from us is not a degree, a diploma or a micro-credential. It is evidence that you did a piece of work and that a named person judged it against criteria.
Not a visa document
A Nap OS record is not evidence for any immigration authority and we make no claim about visa outcomes. Decisions about your application belong to the state you are applying to, and no third party validates them.
Not graded by a machine
No algorithm scores your work. A person with five or more years in the field reads it against criteria that were published before you began. The record is checkable, not cryptographic — an employer follows a link and sees what you did.
Straight answers.
Will Nap OS get me a job?
Is it accredited? Does it carry credits?
Will this help my student visa?
Who actually reviews my work?
What does an employer see?
Can I pause, and who owns what I build?
I am not moving abroad. Is this still for me?
The longer version, in writing.
We write about work experience, hiring and moving country to study — including the parts that do not flatter us. No gated PDFs, no sign-up wall.
“When someone asks what can you do?
you can say here is what I built.”
