  Features
  1、Excellent programs provide students with education of high quality.
  With ten years' development, GESIE has grown into an authoritative institution with rich resources of international education exchanges. GESIE has now established cooperation relationship with such countries as Britain, America, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Germany, France, Switzerland, Holland, Japan, Ireland, Malaysia and Thailand, etc. Visits from and talks with foreign schools can be seen in GESIE every week. In order to verify and evaluate the qualifications of foreign schools, to enable students to study in quality schools and satisfy their parents with the valuable education investment, GESIE makes frequent field investigations into the education facilities, programs, teaching staff and study environment of foreign schools and finally recommend those with great strength and prestigious reputation to students. At present, GESIE has hundreds of quality foreign schools for students' reference.

  2、Pofessional service ensures the most suitable overseas study plan for students.
  Being a service agency, GESIE focuses much attention to the quality of service which is represented by making the most suitable plan for students. While in preparing overseas study plans for students, GESIE takes the degree, age, financial background and personal intention of each student into account and try to provide plans that are tailored to them, instead of sending students abroad without giving any careful consideration.
  For the purpose of getting students' passports visaed, the staff in GESIE verify the documents provided by students upon their professional knowledge and experience and study the requirements of schools and visa applications carefully. GESIE's success rate of visa applications in 2001 is 94%, twice the national average. GESIE is constantly striving to prevent students from being misled by false information and remain the honor of Chinese education intact in the world.
  As overseas study is a considerable education investment for students and their parents and the overseas study plan they choose directly affects their future, the purpose of GESIE's service is to benefit students from the most suitable plan that is tailored to them by taking all their qualifications into consideration.

  3、GESIE rigidly adheres to the principle of remaining faithful to students and strongly objects to misleading students by providing them with false information.
  The principle of remaining faithful to customers is significant to every enterprise. To attract more students, some overseas study service agencies mislead students by providing falsified information on schools like fake pictures and description, which surely harms the future of students and causes a strong dislike from the customers.
  Unlike those service agencies, GESIE carefully examines all the materials for publicity with the facts, including advertisements, school brochures and online information, etc. Owing to its responsibility for providing students with true information, which is not only its duty to customers but also its legal duty, GESIE makes a careful examination of every overseas study advertisement and submits to the Industrial & Commercial Administration Bureau for approval to ensure the authenticity of publicity and avoid disputes with customers.

  4、Standardized operation ensures that the legal rights and interests of students are protected.
  GESIE has been constantly carrying out the Regulations of Self-financed Overseas Study Service by the Ministry of Education and the Measures for Implementing the Regulations of Self-financed Overseas Study Service in Guangdong Province (Trial) since they were issued. No conduct of breaking laws or rules like release of fake advertisements is found with GESIE.
  To improve the quality of the service, scientific and standardized management must be adopted in GESIE. With years' operation and improvement, GESIE has established a perfectly standardized management system. Contracts with schools, students and foreign partners are well prepared by the professional lawyers in GESIE, where rights and obligations are clearly defined, thus working as a proof once disputes arise.
  Now GESIE has formulated practicable internal management regulations, training rules and working rules for employees based on the characteristics of overseas study service, supervising the standardized operation in GESIE in trying to protect the rights and benefits of students and their parents.
  Thanks to years' standardized operation, there are few complaints against GESIE made by customers. Even if some complaints arise, GESIE can always settle them to the satisfaction of students and their parents.

  5、Follow-up service at home and abroad is provided to students for the purpose of freeing them from worries after their arrival abroad.
  As GESIE pays much attention to follow-up service, every student GESIE sends abroad is provided with such service as a quality inquiry by telephone and a quality questionnaire.
  In addition to the follow-up service, GESIE also provides perfect and complete service including notarization, ISIC, translation, flight booking and baggage handling, English training before going abroad, IELTS Test Training, arrangement of airport pick-up and accommodation upon students' arrival abroad, which frees students from worries when they are abroad and enables them to adapt to the study and life in foreign countries as soon as possible.
