Our founder left Ulaanbaatar for Switzerland in 2008 as a student — not as an agent. He graduated from César Ritz Colleges in 2011 in hotel and tourism management, then spent the following years inside the industry that degree trains people for: sales and marketing leadership at Shangri-La and Ramada in Ulaanbaatar, and in Mongolian aviation.
The education consulting firm started in 2016, out of what that route made obvious. Mongolian families were committing to one of the largest financial decisions of their lives on the strength of a glossy brochure and a stranger's assurance. Very few of the people advising them had ever sat in one of those classrooms, moved into one of those student residences, or had to satisfy a visa officer on a Swiss bank statement.
So we advise students the way we would have wanted to be advised. The full cost written down before anyone applies. The weaker options named as weaker. No pressure toward a particular institution because of what sits behind it. A student sent to the wrong school comes home inside a year, and no placement is worth that.
Fifteen institutions now hold representative agreements with us. We have turned down more than we have signed.
