Pros & cons

IDP Education Nigeria
✓ What students love
  • ✓Globally established brand with 50+ years of operation and 700+ partner universities across five major destinations
  • ✓Official IELTS test centre — students can sit IELTS at the same location where they receive placement advice
  • ✓Strong track record with Nigerian students specifically; local counsellors understand Nigerian academic credentials
  • ✓No placement fee for students — revenue comes from university commissions
✗ Drawbacks
