WhoWe Are
The International Group for Educational Consultancy (IGEC) is the largest educational consultancy firm in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. IGEC is a preferred partner of ministries of education and consulates in the region. IGEC has active offices in Jordan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Jeddah, Riyadh, Abha and Khobar), UAE, Egypt, Iran, Kuwait, Azerbaijan, Libya, Oman, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Malaysia, Australia, USA and Canada. We have been operating in market since early 1998, concentrating our efforts to help the largest possible number of students in the MENA join abroad universities. IGEC Offices have been certified by the American International Recruitment Council (AIRC), ICEF, Education Australia and Education New Zealand, with its members certified by the British Council. IGEC has won the Study Travel Magazine (STM) Award for four times in a row in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, as the best Educational Agent in the Middle East and Africa. IGEC won Navitas Prize as the best agent in the world in 2014.
Between 1998 and 2016, IGEC directly served over 20,000 students in different academic degrees, and indirectly served over 40,000 students through various educational programmes and events, across a huge area spanning the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) and other emerging markets
From a modest beginning in 1998, IGEC has now grown into a fully integrated student placement and educational consultancy company. The guiding philosophy of IGEC has been the creation, dissemination and application of quality education across the MENA and emerging markets. IGEC helps nurture leaders capable of making difference in their institutions and societies. To fulfill its mission in an effective and efficient way, each member of IGEC strives to achieve excellence in every endeavor – education, research, consulting and training – by making continuous improvement in operation and pedagogical tools directed towards students.
By holding regular seminars and conducting promotional campaigns (IGEC Educational Forums and Road Shows), we have established close contacts with the major sponsoring bodies in the MENA region, and signed several contracts to recruit students abroad. Regular advertising and promotional campaigns, which have attracted large number of students, has given us a good indication of the potential number of students likely to attempt joining abroad universities.
The wide vision and perfect visualisation of the IGEC management and consultants helps IGEC emerge as MENA’s fastest growing educational consultancy with widest options in Global Education.
Strategic Alliances
IGEC in few years has managed to capture a big share of the local market, and built an outstanding reputation in handling massive scholarship projects. With an experience of working with wide range of local sponsoring bodies, IGEC is capable of handling big projects and remains flexible according to project requirements. These students are apart from the private students we deal with. With excellent recruitment results and strong conversion rate, considerable number of sponsoring bodies have entrusted us with their projects. These sponsoring bodies range from governmental organisations, ministries, universities to private organisations.
