Double Dove Consult-Education

What Double Dove Consult-Education does

Double Dove Consult-Education is a privately held Nigerian educational consultancy that advises and places prospective students into international universities, primarily in the UK, USA, Australia, and Canada. Founded in 2014 (per firmographics; one secondary source records 2020), the firm is headquartered in Abuja and operates additional offices in Lokoja and Ibadan, with a UK contact line suggesting cross-border student support. Its service offering is an integrated, end-to-end study-abroad package rather than a modular product set: counseling on study destination and course selection, admission letter processing and application submission, visa counseling, personal statement guidance, and post-admission logistics including ticketing, accommodation, and airport transfers.

The underlying technology stack is minimal and not proprietary. The company runs a WordPress-based website (doubledoveconsult.org) as the primary digital touchpoint, supplemented by WhatsApp-based communication and in-person education fairs and expos. There is no disclosed application platform, no native mobile product, and no APIs or integrations documented. The International Consultants for Education (ICF/ICEF) badge displayed on the site provides third-party industry credentialing rather than a technology layer. The firm employs 8 people across counseling, recruitment, customer relations, IT, and regional management roles.

Commercially, Double Dove operates a B2C professional services model. Revenue is generated through service fees charged to individual Nigerian students for end-to-end placement assistance; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The demand side is highly fragmented across individual consumers, while the supply side depends on a network of over 100 partner institutions across 12 countries (UK, USA, Australia, Canada, UAE, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Spain, Turkey, New Zealand, China, and Ghana), under standard non-exclusive international student recruitment agency agreements. The company has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no public financial reporting.

Emerging players

• ApplyBoard: Tech-enabled international student placement platform connecting students to programs across multiple countries. Targets the same Nigerian student segment but through a digital, partner-recruiter model rather than a traditional office-based consultancy.
• LeapScholar: Study abroad platform helping students apply to universities abroad with test prep and admissions support. Overlaps with Double Dove's counseling and admissions services but delivered through a digital-first model.
• Edvoy: International education platform facilitating student recruitment to UK, USA, Canada, and other destinations. Comparable in multi-country placement focus though more technology-driven.
• Studyportals: Global study choice platform providing information on international programs. Functionally overlaps with the discovery and destination-counseling portion of Double Dove's offering, though not a direct placement competitor.

Regional players

• KC Overseas Education: Indian-headquartered overseas education consultancy with extensive partner university network and similar end-to-end services (admissions, visa, forex). Comparable business model though operating primarily in the Indian market.
• Canam Consultants: Established overseas education consultancy with broad multi-country representation and end-to-end admissions services. Comparable service model and scale, though primarily India-focused.
• Santamonica Study Abroad: Indian study abroad consultancy providing admissions and visa counseling across multiple destinations. Direct functional analog to Double Dove's services though operating in a different geography.
• GlobalTree Overseas Education: India-based overseas education consultancy offering admission, visa, and travel services similar to Double Dove. Comparable service stack and multi-country partner network model, though regional to India.

Broad incumbents

• IDP Education: Global education services company and one of the largest international student placement providers, with strong presence in Nigeria and similar broad multi-country study abroad offering. Direct competitor for student placement services.

Others

• QS (Quacquarelli Symonds): Provides university rankings, student recruitment events, and information services for international students. Adjacent to Double Dove's space as an enabler of student decision-making and global higher education marketing.
