Students from Kochi we have helped
Archana Saju
Germany
I recently got my German study visa to TU Berlin, a public university, for the Master’s course in Civil System Engineering. My entire process was really smooth and fast; the counselor, Sreelakshmi, took care of my profile very well, and I got my visa just 15 days after applying. I take this opportunity to thank Guidance Plus for all the services.
Suraj Suresh
UK
First of all, I’m very happy that I received my UK student visa for the MSc Cyber Security course at Ulster University. My application went with ease and all the process were fast. And to mention, I also received a scholarship of 4000 GBP, which is above 5 Lakhs. I will always recommend Guidance Plus for all students who wish to study abroad.
Emil Elsa
Ireland
I successfully got my Ireland student visa. The main highlight is that I received a 50% scholarship for pursuing an MSc in Nursing at University College Cork (UCC). All my doubts and concerns were well taken care of by Sriji, my counselor. Guidance Plus is one of the most trustable Study Abroad Consultants in Kerala.
