Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• IDP Education: Global education services group with student placement, English-language testing (IELTS co-owner) and institutional services — a broad incumbent that competes for the same international student flows but at global scale including standardized test administration.
• Quacquarelli Symonds (QS): Provides higher-education data, rankings, and student recruitment services globally — an incumbent that touches the same international placement funnel as LOJ but as part of a much wider portfolio.

Direct peers

• Leverage Edu: India-origin international admissions platform offering counseling, test prep, and university placement to students going abroad — comparable in target customer (emerging-market students studying abroad) and service stack, with a digital-first model.
• Crimson Education: Premium international admissions consulting and tutoring company serving students seeking placements abroad — directly comparable service mix (counseling + test prep + placement) but with global footprint and significantly larger headcount.
• ApplyBoard: A global marketplace connecting international students with educational institutions, including significant volume from Africa — the closest platform analog to LOJ's recruitment and placement function, but operating at vastly larger scale and with proprietary technology.
• Edvance Pathways: Nigerian-based international education consultancy facilitating study abroad placements, similar in geography and service scope to LOJ and competing for the same outbound student pool.

Others

• MPOWER Financing: Provides loans to international students who lack collateral or co-signers — adjacent enabler in the same study-abroad value chain that LOJ's visa/financial-support services touch, rather than a direct competitor.

Regional players

• QTalent Global / Caribbean School Counselors: Education consultancies operating primarily in other emerging-market geographies with comparable study-abroad placement offerings for their regional student bases.
