"We’ve been working in education for the past two decades in Latin America, but were completely new to the Educational System in the US. Expert Education Consultants were more than just a consultant agency, they quickly became our most valuable partners in this journey. They helped us and guided us not only to get the authorizations we needed, but building our management team with excellent professionals that are now an indispensable part of our organization."

Our institution has been working towards expanding into North America for almost a decade and I am so grateful for the efforts of Dr Sandra Norderhaug, the founder and CEO of Expert Education Consultants, in making this long-standing dream a reality.
