We partner with both Universities and Private Higher Education Providers. This enables us to offer students a range of programs with varying costs. It is often more expensive to study a Bachelor Degree program in a University, as opposed to studying with a Private Higher Education Provider.

We are currently affiliated with a number of institutions which provide Accounting, IT, Engineering and Nursing courses.

We have found that graduates from these programs have greater employment opportunities.

We assist you in determining the right program based on your interests, desired location in Australia and the amount of money you are willing to spend on your education.

We will assist you with the enrolment process in order to obtain a Confirmation of Enrolment from an institution. Following this, we will assist you with applying for your Australian Student Visa.
