What Atlantic International Education and Training Company does

Atlantic International Education and Training Company (Công ty Giáo dục & Đào tạo Quốc tế Đại Tây Dương) is a private Vietnamese study abroad consulting firm founded in 2003 and headquartered at 33 Lạc Trung, Hai Bà Trưng, Hanoi. The company operates 11 branch offices across Vietnam covering Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Hai Phong, Hai Duong, Vinh Phuc, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Hue, and Quang Nam, plus a representative office in Paris, France. Its core business is end-to-end study abroad consulting — university selection, application processing, visa assistance, scholarship navigation, and pre-departure preparation — for Vietnamese students targeting Japan, South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Spain. Atlantic also operates the Five-Star (Five-Star English Center) language training sub-brand for Japanese, Korean, and English instruction, runs an annual International Summer Camp program with destinations across six countries for students aged 8-17, and administers the Soshi Scholarship program in partnership with Soshi Educational Group (Japan), which celebrated its 10th scholarship ceremony in April 2022.

The company generates revenue through professional service fees on a quote-based pricing model that varies by destination country, program type, and service level, supplemented by tuition from the owned Five-Star language centers and fees from summer camp and scholarship programs. Go-to-market is sales-led and distribution-heavy: 11 domestic branches provide face-to-face consulting, segmented phone hotlines (Asian countries vs. English-speaking countries) handle inbound inquiries, and field sales teams conduct education fairs and partner-school outreach (including THPT Phan Đình Phùng and THPT Chuyên Bắc Ninh) to generate leads. The company maintains a channel partnership portfolio with universities including University of Lincoln, Sejong, Dankook, Solbridge, Lakehead, Southern Cross, Kent Institute, Plymouth State University, ICL Graduate Business School (Auckland), and Study Group (Australia). With approximately 60 employees and no disclosed external funding, Atlantic is a founder-led, owner-operated firm under Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Ngoc Lan, and it does not operate any disclosed proprietary technology platform — its "product" is the human advisory service itself, supported by a content-rich WordPress website, Facebook, and YouTube channels.
