I was working as a part time research assistant and was keen on furthering my postgraduate studies overseas to Australia. However, corresponding to Graduate Research school can be time consuming, especially when in need to get errands done fast. I was in desperate need of someone to guide me to get things done smoothly and efficiently.

I would never forget the time a good friend of mine by the name of Anthony Jason recommended me to approach an agent by the name of Aileen Lam at JMECC, Subang Jaya. I explained to her briefly of my interest in doing a course related to Marine Biology or Marine Environment in Australia and she was really fast towards my reply. After a review of all the possible universities to enter, my heart was drawn towards AMC. With their constant persistence, I was awarded 2 offers from AMC. One was to do a Masters degree with partial scholarship for international students and another to further my Ph.D. JMECC has also been very helpful towards other applications such as confirmation of student enrolment, student visa, etc.

Tasmania is certainly a serene and peaceful environment for any student to study. Food and accommodation is relatively cheaper then compared to mainland and loads of outdoor activities to do. It has now been 6 weeks have done some really fun stuff such as bushwalking at Cataract Gorge berry picking at Bruney Island, sightseeing at Hastings Caves and loads more to come. Work wise, people here are very friendly and ever willing to help. I have a wonderful supervisor who constantly checks on me every week to ensure l’ve settled down and have started on my research plan.

I highly recommend the expertise of JMECC to anyone in need of an enlightenment of courses they are passionate in. They will patiently guide you through until you have reached your dream destination.

Wow! I have settled down here and am picking up advice from various sources to start a fresh life. Nothing much I can say except my salute to JMECC Team who has arranged all the necessary details without much worries to study here. Lecturers and other staff here are caring, helpful, resourceful and you name it, you have it here. Talking about facilities and resources which are important to my study, you would be fascinated as they are up-to-date and above my expectations. Experience wise I would say in 3 years' time, I would be a different person with wider perspectives and knowledge which will definitely help shape my future in the Film & Television industry (my cup of tea).

Learning English in an English-speaking country is different and interesting. I would say that English is fun and easy to pick up and a worthwhile investment though the duration is less than a few months. Learning and mastering good English is important for me to proceed with my study at Swinburne University of Technology. Overall, this international education would be something that I recommend to future students as I believe that a person's opportunity would be brighter in most aspects. Go for it when possible and don't just stop here. Everything is possible, the same to JMECC who makes everything happen for you.

What should I say? I would say that I am proud to be in Swinburne University of Technology, a place for me to be exposed internationally with different cultures and achievements. It's the university that looks confidently to the future that I believe in. Moreover, I am happy to be associated with JMECC which provided timely and efficient and hassle free services to me. I believe my future is bright from this moment as long as I believe in myself and putting the efforts to what I want in life.

Well, coming to Australia is quite a big change for me as I was on the path to America. However, I think Australia (Perth in particular), is not a bad place to study. Perth is a quiet place, thus it creates a conducive environment for students. I got to know many people of different ethnicity here in Perth too. I would also like to express my thanks to JMECC staff who have assisted and guided me from head to toe till settling down here comfortably. Kudos!

Kia ora all... as they say it locally here in New Zealand. I'd just like to extend my thanks to JMECC for helping me secure a place at UNITEC, one of New Zealand's awesome institutions. Even though the counsellors are very busy they still make time for you even if it's a last minute application like mine. The staff at JMECC are very helpful and they know their stuff. No doubt about that, especially Pooi Fun for being such an angel in helping me get everything done in time. (You're such a sweet heart Pooi Fun ). To all students planning to further their studies overseas but not sure where, I highly recommend New Zealand cause it's still affordable and it's a beautiful country to be in. Once again, all this is thanks to the expertise on JMECC in what they do. Keep up the great work people.

Hello,
Nice to hear from you; studying at Taylors was a wonderful experience. The teachers were very helpful and encouraging, they always made sure we were up to date with our work. The structure of our classes and medium of study prepared us for university.

The best thing about Taylors College is that I was able to meet different people from different places to know and learn about their country, heritage and culture which was very interesting. All in all, Taylors have provided me with an unforgettable chapter in life, and I do encourage other young students to excel their studies with Taylors College.

Of course, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to JMECC, particularly Ms Oon Hooi Ting, for her endless guidance for helping me especially in the application and registration procedures to Curtin. She gave much useful advice and good consultation when I had the dilemma with the various options of universities and courses to choose from.

Besides, JMECC are always a call away when I needed them. Their friendly attitude makes them very approachable and they are really efficient for education counselling. Undeniably, I was worried at first for my choice to Curtin, but after a while being in Curtin, I was glad that my choice was not wrong after all. Curtin is no doubt a good university I can say, especially for their engineering courses. Most of their lecturers are helpful and do concern about the progress of their students.

As for my study experience in Miri, I had a hard time at first, but after being here some time and making friends all around, I started to adapt well to the lovely environment and pleasant people here. Trust me, Miri is populated with very friendly people, it was actually a thrilling fact for me that even strangers are more than glad to give you a helping hand. Being here, my mind indeed widened much as I learnt a lot from the different cultures. This Borneo land is no doubt a lovable and a place full of interests.

I just want to tell you that all is well with me and my family; thank you very much for your support, many thanks to Chris and Abbie too. As you know, we arrive on the 31st of August (Merdeka Day) in the evening and we were collected at the Airport; fortunately we didn't have any problem at the immigration airport.

We stayed at the Trinity College for 4 days only although I made a reservation for 7 days because we were so lucky to have found a house. On Saturday morning, we walked to familiarize ourselves with the area; we found a shopping complex to buy food (I had to ask someone on the street, of course). In the evening, I made a call to my Malaysian friend who happens to have a mother here in Australia (her mother has been in Australia for 25 years already); and she gave me her mother's phone number. Then, I called her mother and they came to our temporary apartment with food (meehoon); I was glad to have that.

The next day (Sunday), they (husband and wife) came again to pick us up and take us on a tour around Perth and took us to their house. While on the journey, I saw a car rental shop that was open on Sunday; that was marvelous because most shops are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. So, we rented a car and the couple showed us the way back to the college.

With the car, we were able to travel more and amazingly we found many advertisements (to sell a car, rent a house, etc.) in the shopping complex nearby. So, we took the number and made a call to a lady who wanted to sell her mother's old (1989) Ford for only $1,500. We went over to her house; my husband test drove that car and found the car in a good condition; we bargained and she agreed to sell it for $1,400. We filled in all the forms and settled the payment right there and went back with the car.

The next morning (Monday), that same lady text us (her name is Judy by the way) saying that she has a house to rent and asked if we were interested. I told her of course we were interested; why wouldn't I be interested, after all, the house is partly furnished with bedding, sofa and table. We settled everything on the same day and moved to the new house the next day (Tuesday). We were so blessed to have found a house so soon.

Last week, I applied for a work permit for my husband which was approved in 2 days; so we went to the Immigration Department to get the label on our Passport. Yesterday, my children started their first day at school near our house, only a 10-minute walk. I am so glad that everything turns up okay for me and my family.

I met with my supervisor last week; he is a nice person, and very understanding. Now, I can take a deep breath and start with my studies.

Please send my regards to Chris and Abbie; I am so much indebted to you guys, Thank You so much for all your support. Hope we will keep in touch.

A short but precise testimonial and truly reflecting the scenarios. If you are looking for efficiency and care or even hospitality from an education agent, JMECC, I can say this is the place. Thanks.

What to write? I would say I wouldn't be here if not for the staff of JMECC, 3 keywords to describe JMECC service - "speedy, effective & trouble-free"

I would be glad to help those newbies or so-called junior if needed. Domo arigato gozaimasu

Why International Study? Because studying internationally would give me more independence away from home and there is a lot more exposure studying in a good university overseas. The facilities are a lot better, the lecturers are more professional and there's a lot more independent study and students have a choice to do a lot more things.

The people at JMECC have been really accommodating in helping me to look for a university, recommending different choices of university. Additionally, the people here are also really helpful and patient in explaining about the visa et cetera items you need to get prepared before studying overseas.

I am currently in my first year, taking one paper each semester. I have checked it. At first, I was worried about this because many others are taking more papers. In the end, I found out that my programme has only one paper each semester in the first year. I have also updated my nDeva contact details.

About JMECC, the staff are friendly & caring. The overall service is satisfactory.I am staying with Isaac, my uncle. Everything is quite good, just that I haven't found a job. We are signing up for a coffee making and bar course that will start next two weeks. It really excites me and I am looking forward to more interesting and challenging events. Cheers. Stay in touch!

I don't regret going overseas to further my study. It really helps us to be a more unique individual. We also can learn more kinds of culture from different places and meeting other interesting people. Although going for international study is more expensive than staying in our country, we can learn many things. So it is really worth the value and investment. I recommend people to study overseas because I think international study really is better in many aspects especially the exposure, different teaching groups and environment. It is really so much different as music in my life.

Thanks for your email. I am still waiting for my qualifying result which I expect will enable me to be licensed for a PhD candidacy :-)

I don't have much to say about studying here for the undergrad but my experience is more useful for postgrad students.

Being in Gold Coast is nice as the weather is not very much different from Malaysia. Not only the weather, but the flora and fauna are somewhat similar -- making you feel a bit like being home. I like this campus as it is not that busy and crowded -- so, it's not a hectic place to be. Sometimes it really reminds me of UUM.

For a Moslem, halal meat supply is easy to get. There are two nearby halal butchers provided that you choose to live in Southport, Labrador or other surrounding areas. The Gold Coast Mosque is also quite close to the uni (about 5 minutes by bus) and my place (about 10 - 15 minutes drive). There are very few Malaysians here though. So, going to the mosque comforts us to be able to meet other Moslems -- local and international. You won't miss your Friday prayer and Tarawih prayer during the Ramadhan. Starting from this school term, I am sending my kids to the mosque for an evening madrasah class (equivalent to kelas fardhu ain) after school. The kids love it as they will get sweets and a glass of juice at the end of a two-hour session.

Where we live (Southport) is the heart of Gold Coast -- close to the hospital and almost everything. Get an old car and you can enjoy your life here. I haven't gone to any of the tourist spots yet but these places are close to our place.

Now that I own an old car, to save my budget, I make it compulsory to buying things from weekly garage sales and monthly car boot sales. It's ever cheaper than buying from charity shops.

I don't want to comment on my study because different people have different experience especially in terms of supervisory relationship. I am lucky to have good supervisors. In terms of facilities, everything is fine. Here in the Accounting department, you are treated as part of the staff. You can replenish your stationery from the department.

That's it. It's good to be here. Don't let yourself be carried away with unnecessary things and you 'll be fine.

P/s I want to thank you again for your support even after I have already been here months. Especially with the visa application for my children.

After a few years of being in the hustle and bustle of a hectic working life in Penang, I decided to do my PhD study in New Zealand, in 2007. I was recommended by a good friend to approach JMECC in Penang for assistance with my university application. I was truly satisfied with the services provided by JMECC. The staff members were very friendly, helpful and caring. At the initial stage, they helped me to apply for enrolment with the University of Canterbury and for scholarships. Once I was accepted, they helped me to arrange for my medical check up, and apply for the good conduct certificate and visa. They diligently followed up on all matters in these regards. At the later stage, the staff members briefed me about making the right preparation to study and live in New Zealand. They even arranged airport pick up for me when I first arrived in Christchurch. The whole process of applying to study in New Zealand was very smooth and well-taken care of.

My experience in studying abroad has been beneficial and unforgettable. I love every day of my life in Christchurch: the pace of living, the people, the culture, the art, the buildings, sceneries, etc. There is always something new to experience and explore, such as skiing, rock-climbing, cycling in the forest, swimming with the dolphins, tramping etc. Studying in University of Canterbury is very different than all the schools I had been to. I find it exciting and informational at the same time. My academic supervisors are very experienced and thoughtful. My thinking towards research is more questioning nowadays.

I highly recommend this institution to those who intend to undertake their post-graduate studies. To me, it is a chance of a lifetime, and something that no one should miss.

We finished our degree last December (with distinction). Now i am working at Perai Auto-City (Public Packages Holdings) while Chee Chyuan work for his father.

Thank you for all your efforts.

May You Be Blessed for all your Good Deeds

JM has helped me to find a great place for me to start my University life. The application to UTAS was all handled well and quick. It minimized the pressure and helped me to concentrate on how I am going to survive my first year in Tasmania. So i want to thank JM in general for making the process smooth.

Life as a University student is an experience that shouldn't be missed. It has taught me many important things about money and managing my time. I also learn about the Australian cultures and way of life by making friends with them and joining them in their activities. So to sum it up, going overseas to study, you may need to leave your comfort zone but it will all be worth the invaluable experience. I want to wish anyone who is going overseas all the best and good luck.

Hi,

Good Day!

Long time no hear. As I said before, your services were so good, thanks to Jabatan Pendaftar UUM for giving your card to me. And when someone asked me how they could apply for the visa for NZ, UK etc., I always ask them to consult JMECC. Unfortunately, not many PhD students would like to come here. We are happy here and some of our pictures can be seen at http://irfan1001.fotopages.com. Feel free to take any picture to embed in your web site if you want.

Thanks to JMECC, the procedures for applying to Australian universities were done very efficiently and I did not have to worry about anything as the staff are always helpful and ready to give advice if needed. My study experience at UniSA, Adelaide is an interesting and eye-opening one. Lecturers and tutors are easily reached via e-mail if we have any questions. One thing I enjoy most about studying at UniSA is that I get to meet many students from all around the world. This helps me in Psychology, the program I'm taking, because I would be meeting different people with different backgrounds and culture in the future!

I've already started teaching and it's been 2 months, everything is fine and well.

I'm very grateful for the services that you have provided; thanks for sending the emails on behalf of my parents! You've done all the procedures very fast and efficiently, which is great, also patiently explaining and answering all the enquiries we had made.

Here's a photo of Vicky Rogers and me, Vicky is the person you have been in contact with all the while.

I've been busy all this while, if I have some free time, I might drop by and visit you guys.

I would like to thank JMECC for assisting us from the initial process of application until we reach Australia. Melbourne is a very cosmopolitan city and it can accommodate most our fellow Malaysian necessities; you can name it, from food to places of worship. Public transport is efficient and you can find many fellow Malaysians here who are happy to lend a hand if you need any assistance.

The University of Melbourne is one of the top universities in Australia for both undergraduate and post doctorate study. From my previous experience, JMECC will provide you ample information especially on the requirements needed by the university. The training given by the University is a world class experience and the degree is sought after by many employers.

Sorry for the late reply. Been pretty busy lately. Thanks for the wishes, here's hoping that the JMECC staff are also doing well. Sure I'd be delighted to give you guys some feedback.

Feedback:

New Zealand is one of the most unique countries in the world. Almost geographically isolated from the rest of the world, New Zealand offers the most unique opportunity in natural science studies. However, the procedure and regulations to study in New Zealand are also one of the most particular and pedantic process. Luckily, JMECC was there for us. The staff are really helpful, friendly and very efficient in helping out with the process. For me and my wife, our registration process at Victoria University of Wellington, visa application and even the initial temporary accommodation were done by JMECC. Best of all, its free!

We've been in New Zealand for a year and a half (and blessed with a baby recently). Life in New Zealand is quite challenging, but it is also one of the most memorable experiences in our lives.

Hope that's ok for feedback. Again sorry for the late reply. Please pass our regards to the other JMECC staff!

I arrived at Massey University on 8th July. The weather is very cold but I'm getting used to it. However, I love the environment here. The people are very nice and kind. Anyway, thank you, JMECC for everything. I really appreciate their help in getting me to the Massey

I would like to record my sincere thanks to all the staff of JMECC for their kindness, help and useful information. I was able get all the information that i need from JMECC during my preparation to further my studies overseas. I was actually quite surprised when JMECC didn't charge a single cent for providing such services. University of Canterbury has a well-maintained website with up-to-date information. This is indeed very useful for international students like us. In my experience, I was very encouraged by the efficiency of the university's administration. The duration of my application to enrol took less than 1 month. Thanks again to JMECC for everything.

The staff are very helpful at JMECC. Lots of thanks especially to Amanda who was able to press for answers from the university when they took quite a considerable time to get back to me.

As for university life, you need to be able to exercise self-discipline while you're here because you have to do more self-study and the assignments are more challenging here. Apart from that do take time to explore the nearby places like the Saturday market we have in Hobart.

College food is not really fantastic but still edible. It would be great if future students learn how to cook before they get here. At night it's quite hard to find any eateries outside unlike in Malaysia. Well, at least that's the case for Hobart and especially in winter.

Frankly speaking, I'm totally satisfied with the services which JMECC has offered. Your team is professional when handling all the application and the commitment you have given is most appreciated.

About the university, I've enjoyed being a student here. The environment here is really suitable for me. Talk about the facilities here. There are so many things provide here and it is convenient for the student.

In addition to that the academic staff are helpful and friendly. Loughborough University is a top ten university in UK. I have chosen the right university and I would like to recommend this university to anyone planning to study in UK especially those planning to choose Engineering course.

I think that's all I can say. Keep in touch..

I've been here for almost 5 months, and now slowly adapting to the new environment. I'm now starting to be busy with my PhD, and have to attend class too. My kids start going to school too, and they are both happy schooling here because no exams, no tests and just having fun.

Studying overseas is a great opportunity for me, where life at Palmerston North is very calm, peaceful and harmony. Thank you very much to JMECC for the great advice and services and de to JMECC, I am here at Massey University, the great university which offers conducive environment for study, with very supportive lecturers, great facilities, and helpful staff too.

Sorry for the late reply. Been busy with my thesis and assignments. How are you doing? Nice to hear from u again!

Life has been crazy. So much happenings going on. It's never boring here. The people here are extremely helpful and i felt welcome the moment I came here...and I still feel that way.

Just been through long winter...it's spring now and flowers are starting to bloom...I am starting to appreciate flowers and sun after the winter...since we are used to have them all year round in Malaysia, so I never really bother too much...but after going through winter, I just realize that flowers and sun made that much difference.

Oh...sorry to be going on about flowers and sun...I've attached some photos of the uni and also one when we organized a mid-autumn festival gathering to share with local and other international students...hope it's good enough for you...

Anyway, take care and keep in touch!!

All the best to you too.

Greetings to you: we arrived in Brisbane yesterday. So far everything is ok, our accommodations is fine, beautiful and very close to my school but unfortunately the distance to Xiang Ting's school is too far, so we may move to another place. However, thank you for you assistance.
