Student Essential Services (SES) aim at improving student experience and providing with products and services for students, and their families as they embark on their internatio­nal education journey.

Post- enrolment care

IDP’s support does not end with once a student arrives in Australia. We help them become a part of a living buzzing network of students, alumni and staff who are all here to help them succeed with IDP.

IDP also hosts regular events to welcome students to Australia to help them connect with other students and explore the new city. The events, which take place twice a year, are held in five states across Australia. These are generally held at cruises on the iconic Sydney Harbour or in-office meet-andgreet morning teas.

IDP’s Australian Education Fair 2020 will provide an opportunit­y to all aspiring Sri Lankan students to interact freely, and directly with these Australian education institutio­ns:

“IDP is global and spread across in more than 33+ counties, which means their service culture and processes are highly refined and standardiz­ed.

I would recommend IDP as simply the best and the most reliable Student Placement Agency in Sri Lanka!”
