1. When did you first get in touch with IDP?

I had just completed studying level 7 in Accounting and I was keen to explore further study options when I stumbled upon IDP Education on Facebook. I filled out a short form and they were extremely prompt in reaching out to me.

2. How was IDP able to help you?

Even though I wasn’t sure what course to choose next, my IDP counsellor was thorough with his research and recommended course options according to my interests and educational background.

One of the universities recommended to me was Otago Polytechnic especially because this university was extremely accommodating to international students due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I researched about the university and found it was a better option than the university I had previously planned to apply to.

3. What was your favourite part about using IDP’s services?

My favourite part about using IDP’s services was that regardless of the number of questions or doubts I had, IDP was a credible source that helped clarify all my concerns.

4. What are your aspirations?

Currently I am upskilling as an accountant, and I look forward to using my expertise in the near future.
