HRD Services have a vast portfolio of client universities in UK and Australia. With formal appointed representation of highly prestigious education institutions, they have a strong working relationship with the universities and colleges.

After the consultation HRD Services will contact the universities on behalf of the student to obtain an informal indication of whether the student is eligible.

"Students have a vast choice of courses and universities, and their main concern is whether they meet the entry criteria - if not, their application is wasted," said Dr Smita Wimmer from HRD Services. "We can approach the universities to obtain an informal advise on the student suitability for the course.

The student can thus narrow down their option of course and university and only apply to suitable institutions."

Students are advised to bring transcripts of their latest qualifications in order to assess the study options.
