The business involves a wide range, and it started with language training. The team studying in a single country is generally professional.
Overall online review:Well-known brands in the study abroad industry started with language accompaniment, and the mass-market assembly line application service once seized a large market share. However, due to the aging model and lack of motivation to continuously upgrade the study abroad business team, the performance decline in recent years is very obvious. At the same time, it is difficult to open up the development situation by the strategy of mainly applying for low-end applications, and there has been almost no high-end offer in recent years.

Now Kai Tak Education has set up companies or subsidiaries in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing, Jinan, Shanghai, Wuhan, Chongqing, Changsha, Qingdao, Nanjing, Xiamen, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, most of Canada, Nottingham, England and other cities. Anglo-American business is the main performance department, and most of the popular countries for studying abroad have been established, and the development of each country is relatively average. However, the large and comprehensive model has also caused more obstacles in the upgrading of Kai Tak’s model. The main direction is still the low-end market, and there are few outstanding gains in the application of high-end institutions.
Overall online review:The market for studying abroad is well-known, and the business and services of Guangzhou headquarters are relatively good, but other regions and their affiliated institutions have different abilities, so they should pay more attention when choosing.

American local consulting company, foreign teacher training application documents, counseling professional papers. Professors from famous domestic universities recommend scientific research-related projects, and enterprises in top are rich in internship resources. Good at high-end applications in the United States, with many cases of low scores and high records. Mainly in the United States, it has also established one of the consulting institutions with the strongest team of consultants and teachers in the United States and the most high-end successful cases in the United States. There is still a certain ability to apply for prestigious schools, and the professional evaluation of consultants is also quite high.
Overall online review:According to the investigation, you have a good reputation and a strong ability to apply for high-end applications. The stability of consultants is very good, which is very rare. The application process is strictly controlled. The background enhancement scheme is more distinctive, and the quality of the documents is also a big advantage. The professional academic study abroad documents are specially checked by foreign teachers, and the overseas manuscript study abroad documents checking system is also used, so the originality is guaranteed. On the whole, the application of famous universities in the United States and Britain has done very well, but other European countries have done so well. It is recommended to do more understanding and comparison.

It has hundreds of package options and tens of thousands of courses to meet the needs of customers with different educational backgrounds and levels. An old institution for studying abroad was established in 2004. The main countries include the United States, Canada, Britain, Japan, etc. The sales of consultants are very good, and the early and late stages are completely separated. The low-end market is doing relatively well, but due to the lack of high-end and late stages, the ability in personalized application is average.
Overall online review:An organization with a good brand image, mainly engaged in high-end applications in Britain and the United States, with a good environment for on-site consultation, uniform clothes for consultants, and increased screen demonstrations of drinks and snacks. Companies with strong sales skills are not cheap, but they feel that they are selling services instead of specialties. In the later stage, the assembly line production situation is particularly serious. After signing the agreement, the consultant basically does not contact the customer, and there is a serious phenomenon of external subcontracting in the later stage documents. It is understood that their family’s pre-consultants and even sales champions have little understanding of the late application, and there are obvious faults in the service.

Counselors usually know the students’ situation first, and then make a school selection plan for them after signing the contract. Later, there will be a special document teacher to write and modify the teaching documents, but students can’t contact the copywriter directly. Generally, they need to contact the study abroad documents through the consultant, and the consultant will communicate with the document teacher. Focusing on the application for studying in the UK, the business of studying in popular countries such as Britain, America, Australia and Canada is involved. Generally speaking, the business in the UK and Australia accounts for the bulk of the institutions. Most of the successful cases are low-end colleges and universities, and the admission rate of high-end prestigious schools is average.
Overall online review:Is an old intermediary, good at studying abroad programs in Britain, America, Australia and other countries. Applications from other countries are still in the exploratory stage and need to be carefully selected. In the survey, some students said that it is more important to select the right consultant, and there will be many novice consultants to fill in the blanks. The survey crowd in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou said that the reliability is still relatively good, and students from other cities suggested going to the institution for face-to-face consultation to find out clearly.

It belongs to an old-fashioned intermediary agency in the study abroad industry, with a high brand recognition and a very large scale, and its business covers almost all applications from countries. The service process of the business team is skilled and the service system is relatively complete. Focusing on British projects, comparatively speaking, Britain and Australia have the most university resources, and the number of consultants in the British department is also the largest in the whole company. The sales experience of consultants and teachers is relatively good, and the business in other countries is relatively average.
Overall online review:A relatively strong veteran agent has gone abroad, and the scale is very large. The study abroad business of all major study abroad countries is basically involved, and the well-known one has a relatively high fee. In terms of service, it is revealed that there will be obvious changes in attitude before and after signing the contract, which requires students to continue to actively urge accuracy and cannot solve the problems encountered by students in time. In addition, when signing a contract, you also need to see the detailed terms of the contract clearly, and there are unreasonable terms.

The new channel connects high-quality educational resources at home and abroad, and has established good strategic cooperative relations with schools in the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, Singapore, New Zealand, Hong Kong, China and other countries and regions. The key business is language training, and the operation scale of the organization is particularly large, and it has a considerable reputation in the language training industry. The business of studying abroad is a subsidiary business, which is set up in every country, mainly to meet the general application of customers to provide full-stage applications, with relatively few high-end admissions. The main business is language training. Generally speaking, studying abroad is average. All countries in Britain, the United States, Australia and Canada have carried out consultations. Overseas institutions have few resources, and there is no obvious bias in being good at countries.
Overall online review:An established consulting firm. The strength in applying for studying in Britain and Australia is still good. However, some netizens summed up their experience and said that there are few teachers with relevant experience in studying abroad, and most of them graduated from domestic ordinary universities. Many consultants do not have a special understanding of the life of studying abroad. It is better to communicate clearly with relevant consultants when consulting, and it is better to compare them.

The scale is very large, the market in Taiwan Province is doing well, and the development speed of local offices is quite fast. The services of various liaison offices are not consistent, and the experience and level of consultants are quite different, so attention should be paid to the selection. Studying abroad documents is a serious injury, and institutions pay little attention to the copywriting department. There are few high-end documents inside the institutions, and liaison offices around the country may not even set up copywriting departments. Starting from studying in the United States, it gained a good market reputation in the early stage with low-end application and batch mode, but in recent years, due to the excessive aging of institutions, the overall handling strength has no advantage in the fierce competitive environment, and the overall business volume has declined seriously. What’s more, businesses in countries such as Britain and Australia have also been established.
Overall online review:Xuemei has done a good job in Taiwan Province’s study abroad market, but perhaps the most criticized problem is the post-service problem. Due to the frequent changes in the management of the company, the top-down management is chaotic, and there are many problems in cross-regional remote collaboration. After signing the contract, the consultant must also have a cross-regional contact plan with the copywriter, which has not improved the overall efficiency and affected the customer experience. Many subsequent services can’t keep up, and the customer complaints basically come from the late stage.

Focus on studying in the UK, other countries have set up offices, focusing on the low-end market. The consultant team has a strong ability, which can elaborate a reasonable application scheme according to the students’ personality and professional background, explain the characteristics of overseas universities and their respective advantages and disadvantages, and explain the employment situation after graduation. Institutions are mainly engaged in British business, with a relatively high degree of concentration in British business. They have cooperative enrollment programs with many British institutions, but generally speaking, there are few high-end applications, mainly focusing on low-end and middle-end study abroad business, and there are many applications from Britain, Australia and Commonwealth countries. The study abroad business in the United States is not the main direction, and the application direction is mainly in countries such as the Commonwealth, so there are not many cases related to the United States.
Overall online review:This institution can do it in most countries, but it is mainly good at applying for universities in Britain and Hong Kong. The consultant teacher is rich in experience, and can also provide personalized writing guidance. However, some students have different levels of feedback from consultants, perhaps because the company has expanded too fast in recent years and there is no multi-system in the service link.

At present, Shangjiao has established long-term and stable cooperative relations with hundreds of colleges and educational companies in more than ten countries, including the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Switzerland, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, New Zealand, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Russia and EF. It can provide a series of complete study abroad programs from languages, high schools, preparatory courses, undergraduate courses and graduate students. There are no countries that institutions are particularly good at, but most of the popular countries for studying abroad offer consulting programs. The main business core is more in educational exhibitions, forums and lectures, and the specific study abroad programs focus on low-end and middle-end application for studying abroad. The overall market share is moderate and very low.
Overall online review:The company is large in scale and relatively formal, with complete staffing, but there are many affiliated companies, and there are basically affiliated forms all over the country, so be sure to carefully screen them.
