/Destinations

Nine systems, covered properly

We work nine destinations rather than listing thirty. Each of these is a system we can explain from eligibility to settlement, with the published criteria and the arithmetic behind them.

01 Services

What we actually do

Test preparation, applications, visas and settlement — priced individually so you can take one piece and leave the rest. Nobody is required to buy the whole package.

02 How it works

How a file runs

  1. 01

    Assessment first, and it is honest

    We look at your marks, your funds and your timeline against the published criteria, and tell you which routes are realistic. If none of them are, you hear that in the first meeting rather than after a fee has changed hands.

  2. 02

    A shortlist with the real number on it

    Every option comes with its total cost in one figure — tuition, rent, insurance, flights and our fee. Most candidates discover the ranking changes completely once the whole number is visible.

  3. 03

    One adviser, the whole way

    The person who assessed you is the person who files your application. You are not handed to a documentation desk once the invoice is paid.

  4. 04

    Through the decision, and after it

    Visa filing, interview preparation, and the practical parts nobody briefs you on: the first bank account, the first tenancy, the first month.

04 Reviews

What candidates say

Invented, like everything else on this site

05 FAQ

Questions we get asked

What do you charge, and when?

Each service has its own published fee and they are on the service pages. The assessment is charged on its own so you can stop after it; nothing obliges you to take the rest. We do not run a single bundled figure that has to be paid before you know whether your case is viable.

Do you take commission from universities?

Where an institution pays a recruitment commission we tell you, on the shortlist, next to that option. It is the central conflict in this industry — a shortlist built from who pays the most is not a shortlist — and the only useful answer is to put it in front of you rather than declare ourselves above it.

Can you guarantee I will get the visa?

No, and anybody who does is selling you something. The decision belongs to a visa officer applying published criteria. What we can do is tell you honestly where your file is weak, fix what is fixable, and not file something we expect to fail.

What if you think my case will not succeed?

We tell you at the assessment and we do not take the file. It happens often enough that it is worth stating plainly. A refusal sits on your record and makes the next attempt harder, so filing a weak case to earn a fee costs you more than it earns us.

Start with an assessment

An hour, your documents, and a straight answer about which routes are realistic. If we do not think we can help, we will say so and there is nothing to pay.
