Common questions

Before you pick a country

The questions we answer most often at the front desk.

No. Profile assessment, country selection and counselling are free, and they stay free whether or not you eventually apply through us. You only pay for test preparation classes and the standard institutional or embassy fees, all of which are shown to you in writing before anything is collected.

Free · No obligation
