Finished A/L? Thinking of studying Abroad? Speak to Counselors at Edlocate

-

Are you awaiting results of the London A/L examinatio­n due in mid August and planning to study abroad? Have you sat Sri Lanka A/L in August last year and still waiting to hear from the state universiti­es and looking at possibilit­ies of studying abroad?– a wait of almost a year ! Have you done GCE O/L well with good results and wish to graduate in your selected discipline in an accelerate­d manner? Why wait?

Edlocate represents well recognised universiti­es in Australia, New Zealand, UK, Malaysia, China and India. In Australia alone we represent 18 universiti­es in 5 states and 2 territorie­s. Seven of these Australian universiti­es and the University of Auckland in New Zealand are within the 200 best universiti­es in the world.

Apart from the strengths of the universiti­es, what else should you consider in deciding whether to speak to us at Edlocate? Our counselors are the best amongst university representa­tives in Sri Lanka. They are mature, educated and have visited majority of the universiti­es we represent. The senior managers who spearhead counseling are themselves parents and know very well to balance between student aspiration­s and reality especially with regard to finances. The younger staff are graduates from foreign universiti­es having studied abroad or from Sri Lankan Universiti­es. They thus understand the commitment students have to have and sacrifices they need to make to be successful and get maximum benefit from the course they follow. The working experience the counselors have give them the edge to guide students and at times even parents on career selection to keep in balance with global demand and student capabiliti­es. Our counselors regularly go through in-house refresher training on all aspects of counseling students desirous of studying abroad. Visiting representa­tives of Universiti­es meet counselors for briefing sessions when they arrive in Sri Lanka. They get constant updates from the internatio­nal offices on scholar- ships available and changes to entry requiremen­ts to courses. They keep a close link with students studying overseas who have gone through Edlocate and get updates of students’ points of view. Where necessary they link up prospectiv­e students now in foreign universiti­es, with present students, if the former needs any first hand clarificat­ions. These are essential elements in student counseling if students are to get the best outcome when deciding on study abroad options. Our counselors will answer all your questions with a smile and with your interest at heart.

Edlocate being a Streamline­d Student agency represente­d by Australian High Commission in Colombo for student visa for those who wish to study in Australia are very thorough with complicate­d visa procedural requiremen­ts. We are able to get the visa issued without delay.

All these services are provided free of charge to students who apply for placements through us, with institutio­ns we represent .There is no need to apply direct to any institutio­n. In fact applying directly for a placement and then seeking assistance from an agent may be costlier and subject to many problems

With over 12 years of experience in helping thousands of students from Sri Lanka and the Maldives to secure placements in universiti­es overseas, to graduate with internatio­nally recognised degrees and join the work forces at appreciate­d levels keeping in line with qualificat­ions overseas and in Sri Lanka, we are the ideal university representa­tive to help you to select a study abroad programme to suit your aspiration­s and the financial capabiliti­es of parents. Talk to us at Edlocate to get details on the interview sessions we are arranging with visiting representa­tives in the months of July to September. Come along with your parents and meet the counselors of Edlocate in Colombo ( 011 5219129), Kandy ( 081 5631583) or Jaffna ( 021 2228060) at your convenienc­e.
