I processed my visa with WEST 1 and I would like to leave the following review of my experience: the counselor that helped me was Indira Jaimes. Always very concerned about everything and willing to provide the best possible support.

In addition, she was always clear about the steps to follow and very cordial. She is a very organized, committed and responsible person, and for that reason, she transmits a lot of trust.

Without a doubt, it was a pleasant experience to deal with her throughout the visa application process.

I would highly recommend her without a doubt!

To come as a student to Sydney definitely represented a challenge for me, a new country far from home and with a different language.

However, it has been the best experience I have had, and thanks to WEST 1, not only have I learned a language and I feel confident using it in my day to day life, but I have also met incredible people, places and cultures!

I love the fact that I've shared my experience with people from parts of the world that I never thought I knew, and I love learning so much from so many cultures through the same language. In addition, the places that I have known are impressive, I am in love with this city and its people.

I did not have to worry about anything because the agency took care of everything important and that made my experience even better. I appreciate and recommend WEST 1, the counselors not only help us but also care about us.

WEST 1 has super dedicated and motivated professionals, which makes us feel very comfortable every time we go there in the agency, whether to ask questions, to ask for help or even just to chat when that famous and painful "homesick" kicks in.

Since I arrived here in Australia, about two years ago, the service has been very professional and personalized. I had the opportunity to meet wonderful and super open people to help with all my needs.

My first visa was approved in less than 12 hours! Amazing!

I would especially like to mention the counselor Phil Freitas, who has been supporting me since my first day here in Australia. Highly qualified and experienced taking care of students.

Among visa renewals, choros and cafes, we became great friends.

For these and many other reasons, I would highly recommend the WEST 1.

Studying abroad was always a dream, but many times I thought it was not possible. So when I finally decided to LIVE what I always dreamed of, I researched and talked with people who have already experienced this experience. A friend, Stephanie Arruda, who happens to be working at WEST 1 in Sydney, referred me to WEST 1 in São Paulo, and from the first moment I talked to the team, I had no doubt that the agency would be with me to achieve what I always I dreamed.

During the process, I went through various fears and doubts (language, financial and family matters), but for honor and Glory to God, everything went well.

The big day arrived and I finally met Brisbane. I confess that this place exceeded my expectations. Every corner is perfect, the people are friendly and the weather is WONDERFUL.

Studying abroad is a unique experience! Apart from learning with a different language, you learn about other cultures, new places and, most importantly, you discover who you are.

In this journey not everything is easy, because every day there are new challenges to overcome, for example: the search for your first job, the difficulty with the language and the absence of family and friends that we leave in our home country.

In these moments, it's great to know that we have someone to rely on. WEST 1 has always helped me in all these challenges, having an agency in Brisbane makes all the difference. When I needed help finding a job, they were there; when I needed a friend's shoulder to talk about my fears, they were there with open arms to give me strength, especially Guilherme (so cute).

I am very grateful to God, because I feel that all choices were perfect and incredible people appeared on this path. In fact, a trip like this requires a certain investment, but every penny is worth it.

We were not very aware of the process and in general what life was like in Australia. Although we went to some talks in our country and contacted some education agencies in Mexico we really did not know what we should do. Looking for information in forums and on Facebook, we were able to meet Indira Jaimes from WEST 1. From the beginning, she showed a lot of willingness to explain what the process was like and to guide us about the lifestyle in Australia and all that is needed as an international student. Since we arrived in Sydney, Indira was in contact with us, helping in many aspects such as medical insurance, induction course in school, Workshop to find work, make payments to the school, etc. It has now been almost two years since we arrived in Sydney and thank God and the support we have had from Indira and WEST 1, I have finished my Diploma in Community Services, I am working in an Organization that helps people with Dementia and I am a few months of signing an employment contract with them, also my wife is studying English at a school. Although it is not an easy road, but with discipline and effort and the help of an agency like WEST 1 you can realize the Australian dream. 2019-05-06 06.05.2019

And the WEST 1 team made it all possible! The staff was super helpful and attentive since when I was still in Brazil. I participated in online Workshops at no additional cost and without the complete certainty that I could make my study abroad program. After a few months of research and planning, everything came to fruition! And arriving here the service continued with the same quality! Anyway, all the care and attention with a student in a foreign land remained extremely competent, especially in an emergency situation. I recommend WEST 1 with total confidence that the team is always willing to help to the maximum! Congratulations to the team and my thanks for all the support ever! 2019-05-02 02.05.2019
