What Expert Education does

Expert Education (trading as Expert Education & Visa Services / EEVS) is a privately held education, visa, and migration consultancy founded in 2003 and headquartered in Sydney, Australia, operating under the parent entity Expert Group Holdings Pty Ltd. The company provides professional services to international students, skilled workers, and family-reunification applicants — primarily originating from South Asia (India and Nepal) and destined for Australia, Canada, the UK, and the USA. Its service portfolio spans end-to-end study-abroad counseling (university selection, applications, scholarship guidance), visa application support across multiple subclasses, English-language test preparation (IELTS and PTE), Professional Year courses, NAATI CCL and Skills Assessment support, and post-arrival settlement services including accommodation, OSHC/OVHC health cover, banking, and tax return assistance.

The business is delivered through a capital-intensive, high-touch distribution model: 80+ physical branch offices across 23 countries, staffed by 20+ individually MARA-registered migration agents and additional counselors. Underlying technology is limited to a WordPress-based marketing and inquiry website, a country-specific events platform, and standard CRM/administrative tooling — there is no proprietary software platform, mobile app, or disclosed AI capability. Revenue is generated through professional service fees tied to visa applications, course placements, language training, and ancillary migration services, with cross-sell into wholly-owned sister companies (Expert Telecom, Aussie Finance & Home Loans, Expert Business and Tax Advisory, Vantage Consultants) that extend the company's footprint into telecom, finance, and tax advisory for newly arrived migrants. The company claims 150,000+ students assisted since inception, 600+ partner educational institutions globally, and compliance with major industry bodies (NEAS, ISEAA, AECA, ICEF) plus the Office of the Migration Agents Registration Authority.

Broad incumbents

• Study Group: Global higher education provider offering pathway programs and university partnerships; broader incumbent in international education that overlaps with Expert Education's destination university relationships and student placement activity.

Direct peers

• Leverage Edu: Tech-enabled Indian study abroad platform providing AI-driven university matching, admissions, and visa support for students targeting Australia, Canada, USA, and UK; overlaps directly with Expert Education's core study-abroad counseling and represents the digital threat to its service-led model.
• AECC Global: Global study abroad consultancy with offices across India, Australia, Vietnam, and other source markets; directly comparable service mix covering admissions, visas, and language test preparation for the same destination countries.
• Global Reach: Indian education consultancy with multi-country presence placing students into Australia, Canada, UK, USA, and New Zealand; directly comparable service portfolio and destination mix to Expert Education's India/Nepal operations.
• IDP Education: ASX-listed global education agent co-owned by universities; directly comparable in placing South Asian students into Australian, Canadian, UK, and US institutions and in offering IELTS test prep. Operates a much larger international footprint than Expert Education and serves as the scale benchmark for the segment.
• SI-UK (Study International): UK-headquartered education consultancy with offices in India and other source markets; directly comparable offering across UK, USA, Canada, and Australia student placement and visa services.
• Canam Consultants: India-headquartered education consultancy with extensive branch network placing students primarily into Canada and Australia; overlaps with Expert Education's India operations and destination mix.
• KC Overseas Education: India-based education consultancy with multi-country branch network placing students into Australia, Canada, UK, USA, and New Zealand; competes head-to-head with Expert Education's India operations on student visa and admissions services.

Emerging players

• ApplyBoard: Canadian-headquartered platform that partners with education agents and institutions to streamline international student recruitment; competes with Expert Education by enabling institutional recruitment at scale, potentially disintermediating traditional branch-based agents.
• Edvoy: UK-based international education platform (formerly known as AEC) offering admissions and visa support services across multiple destinations; competes with Expert Education on the same student segments with a more digitally native delivery model.
