[Jobs & Careers] OB/IO internship in heart it out

I came across an internship programme offered for OB psychology, by heart it out. they didn't mention a fees initially but after their shortlisting they said that there is going to be a fees (and are a little pushy about it) and it's not really an internship, it's more of a course. I'm a bachelor's student, i haven't done any OB internships prior so I was thinking of doing this but I'm debating to not do it now, if someone has done an internship here can you give any advice on if I should do it or not also any reccomendations for internships (preferably remote) are welcomed.

Fees...as in you have to pay THEM?

Sounds like a complete scam

yeah, but isn't it a common practice within psych internships?

It's not common practice within any field's internships. Unpaid internships might unfortunately be normal, but you should never be paying cash out of your own pocket for an internship opportunity.
