Jinjilie study abroad is the first batch of large-scale intermediary companies certified by the Ministry of Education, with former counsellors of multinational embassies in the town and hundreds of professional study abroad consultants. There are 46 wholly-owned direct branches in China, involving overseas study, immigration, international study tour, PTE academic English test, gold membership in all fields and other businesses. The scale of the company is very large, and it is an old-fashioned large-scale intermediary. Headquartered in Beijing. There are liaison offices in many parts of the country, and the service of Beijing headquarters is better. The liaison office has a general market reputation, the mobility of consultants and teachers is quite large, and the sales nature is too strong.
Overall evaluation of institutions:The company’s influence is particularly high, and it is also the only intermediary agency in the industry that advertises on CCTV, and its financial strength is particularly strong. Of course, the financial ability belongs to the financial strength, and the most important thing for consulting institutions is the quality of service. Many netizens reminded that the agency does have some powerful consultants, but the proportion is not too high. Most of the consultants and teachers are mainly newcomers, and the turnover rate of old consultants is particularly high. New consultants often make excessive promises because of performance pressure or lack of professionalism.

It has been established for about 15 years, and it is quite well-known in the study abroad market in Hangzhou. It has long been committed to overseas study application services, focusing on high school and master’s applications.
Overall evaluation of institutions:Headquartered in Hangzhou, the company enjoys a high reputation in Zhejiang. It is almost in a monopoly position in the market and has a good reputation. Its main business is studying abroad, overseas immigration, language training and other projects. It may be that the business scope is too wide and the degree of concentration is slightly insufficient, which often leads to the promotion of cooperative colleges. In the survey, students’ feedback on Xintong is also the assembly line operation of the whole process. Due to the poor communication in the early stage, it is difficult to guarantee the quality of documents. It is suggested that non-Hangzhou students ask to see the documents when consulting, and try to eliminate the occurrence of template sets.

Overall evaluation of institutions:Generally speaking, students who are good at studying in Australia and Britain are also offered in the United States and other countries. In particular, there are many cooperative enrollment institutions in Australia, and customers have always recommended that they be good at countries when consulting. Therefore, students interested in studying in Australia can consider it with relative ease. It has always been a big problem for Australia to have a large turnover of personnel. Before signing the contract, it is necessary to ask about the recent situation of consultants, and it is more harmful to change consultants in the medium term. For applications from other countries, it is better to make more comparisons with other institutions before making a decision.

Consultants usually get to know the students’ situation first, and then make a school selection plan for the students after signing the contract. Later, there will be a special writing and revision of the document teacher training documents, but students can’t contact the copywriter directly, and generally need to contact the study abroad documents through consultants, who will communicate and negotiate with the document teacher.
Overall evaluation of institutions:The cases of studying in Britain, the United States and Australia account for the vast majority, and the main cases are also concentrated in secondary institutions, most of which are from cooperative universities. When consulting, we should pay attention to the consultant’s workplace experience and prevent the consultant from over-committing. On the whole, the business of studying in Britain and Australia is still very good. If you apply for other countries, you should make a comprehensive comparison.

The number of students studying abroad is still good. He is good at applying for low-end universities in various countries, and overseas cooperative universities are rich in resources.
Overall evaluation of institutions:Similar to many companies that started as overseas agents, the agency business for studying abroad is not the main business after all. The existing customer resources are expected to be utilized, which is tasteless, but unfortunately abandoned. It lacks the motivation to deeply plant the business for studying abroad, and its performance is mediocre. It is also difficult to attract powerful consultants in the study abroad industry to join. The general application is still competent, and high-end application suggestions still need to be compared and decided.
