Dear Sir,
We are interested in becoming your agents for Srilanka. Our company details are as folows, please let us know your views on the same.
Please allow me to introduce ourselves
We are “Overseas Education Information Centre” which is strategically marketed under our parent company of “Mr.D & The Team (Pvt) Ltd”.
A professional ‘Team’ committed to finding the best education providers for our clients in U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Canada, India or Singapore, to suit our students’ needs and preferences. We guide our students through every aspect of their educational and visa applications from beginning to end, including airline ticketing.
With two offices in Sri Lanka, one located in Kurunegala city, a most convenient centralised location and our recently opened modern offices in the capital city, Colombo, our services are accessible to all parts of the country.
The company Directors:-
Mr.Pubudu Dassanayake “Mr.D” – Co-Founder & Company Chairman (Sri Lankan)
Well known ‘Professional’ in the Hospitality industry in Sri Lanka. Graduate & Award Winner of the Sri Lanka Institute of Tourism & ITH Salzburg, Austria. Visiting Lecturer to Hotel & Tourism institutes in Sri Lanka. Senior consultant in the Travel/Tourism and Hospitality sector.
Mrs Karen Whyte – Co-Founder & Managing Director (Welsh)
A retired British Visa Officer, who after working for 6 years in the country, is a permanent resident of Sri Lanka. Karen has expert knowledge of the International Educational System and the providers’ requirements of the prospective students, to enable them to achieve qualifications within their abilities at their chosen Campus around the world. Firsthand knowledge of the ways and customs of her adopted country allow her friendly rapport with our prospective students.
Ms Andrea Bamford – International Relations Director (English)
Having recently completed her role as a British Visa Officer, Andrea has joined with her colleagues to help promote overseas education. With vast knowledge of International Immigration rules for students, her expertise is invaluable in guiding our genuine students to attain their goals.
U.K.Based:-
Mrs Gillian Dhansingani – Independent School/College Consultant (English)
After seventeen years experience of living in Sri Lanka, Gillian has now moved back to the U.K. & enrolled her own children in schools providing high education standards. With her support, we are able to offer parents suitable education for their children between the ages of 7 to 18 years, at fee-paying Independent Schools in the U.K.
The remainder of our “Team” members are from the different cultural backgrounds to be found here in Sri Lanka and are fluent in English/Sinhalese/Tamil & Hindi.
We currently market our services to Sri Lanka, The Maldives and India.
Our “Team” members constantly perform visiting lectures & career guidance programmes at secondary schools in Sri Lanka, providing opportunities to guide and direct potential students to recognised universities and institutes around the world.
Having resident British expatriate’s involvement in our business, builds recognition, pride, evidence and trust in us as a Student Agency & service provider in Sri Lanka. This is unique as far as other agents are concerned in the country.
We take part in all the major Educational Fairs held in this country and from later this year will be participating in The Maldives and India. Our stall for this October’s Higher Education & Career Exhibition at the BMICH, Colombo is already bought!
For our visiting Education Providers we arrange promotions, seminars and meetings with potential students and their sponsors. Skype interviews can also be arranged.
We are currently seeking to expand our list of Educational Institutions, especially from UK, to enable us to offer a service which is second to none and provide our clients with unparalleled choice. At present we are offering courses in Computer Studies, Travel & Tourism, Hospitality Management, Cookery, Early Childhood Education & Graphic Design, mainly in New Zealand and Australia to Diploma Level but we wish to include Degree Providers in all categories.
Overseas Education Information Centre invites you to join us and be a part of our elite International providers register.
Sri Lankan ‘mindset’ approves of guidance by educated consultants; not just a businessman running an agency. Our ‘Team’ members, Consultants and visiting lecturers always promote where to study and how to develop the students’ future career pathway.
