CONSULTANTS: INVESTING IN THE FUTURE
Your education may be the largest investment that you will
ever make; studies indicate a direct relationship between the
kind of university or college a student attends, and that student's
earning power and choice of profession in later life. The advice
of an educational consultant, based on years of information-gathering
about universities and programs as well as an ongoing interaction
with admissions officers, greatly increases the likelihood
that your investment in your education and your future will
be well made.
At present, the typical public high school guidance counselor
in Cyprus advises between four and five hundred students. These
counselors are expected to be experts not just in university
placement - in which vital information is constantly changing
- but in vocational training and in general counseling issues
as well. Theirs is a generalist position that makes it very
difficult to maintain expertise in any one area, or to give
substantial time, resources, or individual attention to any
of their hundreds of "cases." And for families looking
for help in placing students in appropriate universities, independent
educational consultants are the only available professional
resource.
Educational consultants devote their full energies to university
placement and related services. This means we have the time
and the undivided attention to give to the essential work of
fitting students to universities; to developing relationships
with admissions staff; to keeping up with key developments
in higher education; and - most important - to getting to know
the individual student with whom we will work closely throughout
the placement process.
It is this combination of expertise and personal attention
that is drawing increasing numbers of students to our services.
