How is your institute different from the other institutes which offer the same programs?
We are a professional college for direct enrollment, not an intermediary. Our college enrolls students for different educational programs only after the students have been reviewed. We focus on learning support and IEP (Individual Education Plan) depending on the academic background of students. They have a chance to focus on the areas where they really need to improve. Most importantly, we are mentors for our students, not recruiters. After our Program and studies, our students have the opportunity to carve their niche in exploring what the host country has to offer in terms of education and career.
