Pros & cons

AECC Global Nigeria
✓ What students love
  • ✓Direct partnerships with 150+ universities across six destinations give students access to up-to-date entry requirements and scholarship information
  • ✓Transparent process documentation — students receive step-by-step timelines from application to visa lodgement
  • ✓IELTS preparation integrated with university application reduces the need to coordinate between providers
  • ✓Scholarship identification is built into the standard placement service at no extra charge
✗ Drawbacks
  • ✗Smaller Nigeria-specific team than IDP, so counsellor experience with less common courses can be variable
  • ✗Nigeria office is relatively newer compared to AECC's Asian branches
  • ✗Does not cover European or Asian destinations such as Germany or Japan
Mainbrain International Limited
✓ What students love

  • ✓Guided support from initial programme selection through admission and visa application for Nigerian students
  • ✓Understanding of the specific challenges Nigerian students face in international applications including financial documentation and qualification equivalency
