Global Education Study Centres (inc Global Veritas Education Consultants Ltd) offers a one-stop service for students who wish to study overseas. The following guidelines should be referred to in our membership leaflets and will be explained during first informal interviews and when making enquiries.

All students may become members and pay 100,000 Naira (Abuja/Lagos/Warri) or 100,000 CFA (Cameroon). Note we have special deals running throughout the year and these fees are often waived. Contact your nearest office for details. Membership fees are for the professional advice we offer and also to offset costs associated with the smooth running of the local offices. Membership fees if paid are payable only ONCE and are lifetime and there are no annual renewal fees.

Premium Services offered by GESC

These include the following:

• Any supporting letters for visa

• Letters of intent

• Statements of purpose

• Personal Statements

Such letters are often needed of good quality standard to ensure visa/application success particularly after previous rejections. Premium service fees are £100 or $150 payable only in those currencies. Staff will advise if premium services are needed. The premium service is a stand alone fee and entirely voluntary.

All students are counselled within the statement of principles for ethical recruitment of International Students. All staff have copies of this statement and all members can request a copy. This statement is commonly referred to as the “London Statement”. Please note that the above statements must be the students work and our input is based on credible examples of past statements used with all personal details removed.

All staff will offer independent academic advice and offer study options that best suit the student’s academic background and finances available. Students may come with predetermined ideas of where they wish to study and staff will evaluate these ideas and ensure that aspirations can be met. The guiding principles are that we try to ensure all students are successfully moved from initial enquiry to eventual study to chosen destination.

*Membership allows students to place as many applications as they wish at no extra cost (the UK only note max 3 applications at any one time). All applications are vetted and checked and sent to the institution with recommendations. Visa protocol fees are now included in the membership fees. This does not include the application fees charged by UK visa authorities. Should we be unable to source suitable academic offers from chosen institutions then we will continue to offer alternatives that will meet the student’s requirements. All applications are confidential to the students, Global Education and the Institution applied to. Under no circumstances is personal information given to 3rd partie

Deposits/Refunds and Application Fees

United Kingdom

All institutions require a deposit payment towards fees ranging from £1000 to full fees. Global Education Study Centres (inc Global Veritas Education Consultants Ltd) advises that students/sponsors pay all fees if possible to increase chances of securing the visa. Some institutions charge application fees as part of the application process these are deducted from tuition fees if a visa refused and a refund request is made. All fees should be paid directly to the institution. Under no circumstances should a member hand over fees to office staff.

Refunds are only made on request. These usually take between 8-12 weeks depending on the institution but can take longer. Refunds will only be made to the account the money was originally transferred from unless a specific written request is made to another account.

If a student is refused a visa a copy of the refusal notice is required to expedite the refund. Refunds are subject to application fee charges/admin charges etc at the discretion of the institute concerned and are always returned to the originating account.

Global education endeavours to help members as much as possible in securing refunds but we are at the mercy of institutions financial rules and therefore patience is requested. Refunds (other countries) are made on written request.

Should any disputes arise with members and local offices then members should contact the Director General to outline the reasons for the dispute which we will at all times endeavour to settle amicably. Please see our complaints procedure noted in your representation contract.

Note: any verbal or written threats made to Global staff will mean a students membership is automatically terminated. We endeavour to help all members but we are subject to local rules and regulations which can lead to delays and disruptions in our services.

Also, note any student who with holds information and lies on UK visa applications AND other applications and subsequently refused a visa for such reasons will have membership immediately terminated. Such students will receive a mandatory 10 year UK visa ban. Students may also not receive any refunds from institutions.

Applying for your VISA and preferred University is not an easy task. Let our friendly helpful fully trained staff support you throughout your applications.
