TESTIMONIALS

Success Stories

We first heard about EdCo LATAM Consulting through an industry contact. Our primary goal was to enhance diversity, boost enrolment, and improve the quality of applicants from the region. We knew we needed strong in-market expertise and representation to achieve these objectives effectively.

Before working with EdCo LATAM Consulting, we faced challenges in connecting with prospective students in a meaningful way. Language barriers, cultural differences, and a lack of direct engagement made it difficult to establish trust and communicate our institution’s value effectively.

Since partnering with EdCo LATAM Consulting, we’ve seen a transformative impact on our recruitment efforts. With dedicated recruiters and conversion specialists in-market, we can now engage with students—and just as importantly, their parents—in their own language and cultural context. This has significantly improved applicant quality and student retention.

One of the most valuable aspects of our partnership has been EdCo LATAM Consulting’s ability to navigate complex regulatory changes, and their impact to LATAM students. Their on-the-ground presence has been instrumental in supporting applicants through evolving policies, ensuring a smoother recruitment and admissions process.

We highly recommend EdCo LATAM Consulting to any institution looking to strengthen its recruitment in Latin America. Their expertise, commitment, and hands-on approach make them an invaluable partner in achieving sustainable growth in the region.

The University wanted to diversify our student body, and we saw an opportunity to expand our work in Latin America, EdCo LATAM were recommended by UK universities we spoke to who were having success in the region. One of our goals was to develop a strong portfolio of agents to increase our presence in LATAM.

Our main challenge was not being a known name in the region, and having to build our brand from scratch. We believed we had a strong offering for Latin American students but no one knew about it, so having EdCo LATAM as a constant presence has allowed us to market this message quickly and strategically.

EdCo LATAM have allowed us to be present in the market and share our brand across multiple counties in Latin America. In-country representation has allowed us to attend many more events and build stronger relationships with key partners than we would have been able to build with our team in the UK.

EdCo LATAM have opened doors for Hull, their relationships with partners and agents has allowed us to build a steady stream of students from the ground up. I would recommend EdCo LATAM to institutions looking to break into a new market, and build their strategy with the support of their connections and in-country expertise.

DMU have been working with EdCo for over two years now and it was the best decision we ever made! Not only have our recruitment figures from the Americas increased tenfold, but our brand presence and recognition across multiple LATAM and North American markets has grown significantly and our relationship with agents, sponsors and partners continues to go from strength to strength.

Jamie and Simon are brilliant business partners, bringing such value, experience, knowledge and personality into our international recruitment team and we credit them wholeheartedly with our Americas successes!

EdCo LATAM provided Moreland University with deep insights into specific country markets as well as the entire region of Latin America, which proved invaluable in informing our understanding as well as our operations, from marketing to admission intake.

The EdCo team members were always timely, highly proactive and professional, and, best of all, it felt as if they were part of our internal team. Their work directly alongside us made us feel that they were committed to understanding us to the highest degree possible.

I have worked with Simon from EdCo Latam for over a year positioning the Australian state of Victoria in Colombia and the service provided has been outstanding.

Simon and his team were strategic, professional and have great knowledge of the Colombian and Latin American international education market. I strongly recommend them and wouldn’t hesitate to work with them again.

EdCo has quickly developed a strong partnership with the University and has provided UCB leadership with a resolute confidence in their ability to deliver. They have understood the vision of UCB and have articulated this into a plan that has enabled strategic growth across the LATAM region.

They have continually demonstrated their willingness to go above and beyond in supporting UCB.

The University of Guelph undergraduate international team has worked with EdCo LATAM for over a year and a half with the goal of increasing our student enrollment numbers from the Latin American region.

Simon, Jamie and Paula have shared great knowledge of the region, fostered excellent relationships with students, agents and schools, and built out effective recruitment and conversion strategies. Through these efforts we have seen a significant increase in our applicant numbers and brand awareness in the region.

Furthermore, the EdCo LATAM team are a joy to work with and always communicate with passion and professionalism. We are very proud to have them as a part of our team!
