SUCCESS STORIES

Adythio Niramoyo

National College of Ireland

The process was very well assisted. From start to pre-departure. Sara who was in charge of me was very patient and helpful. Even the cost of sending documents to the Irish embassy was reimbursed! Although the office is located far away in Batam, the support is very good... Once again, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Sara and the ER Team. I wish you all the success!
