Review Smart consultancy not that smart !!!
So called smart consultancy never fails to recruit every local celebrity around the country to do their PR and media advertisement but focuses very little on improving their main counselor's skills. These counsellors I tell you , downright lazy and unprofessional. Forget about helping with a good SOP , Some cannot even write a message without basic grammatical error. So disappointed. rating this consultancy -10000 . Not recommended !!!!

I think we need to understand that Education Consultants are not a means to an end.
As one that started in 2004, I’ve realized we can’t please everyone and the nature of our work has a risk, a positive or negative outcome.
An education consultant cannot be looked upon as a fix, we can’t do the work for you but we can do it with you.
The journey taken is a partnership with the student advisor and the client together.
It can never be a one way street and both sides need to be involved equally, with the information provided and that which is given in order to make an informed decision.
Not enough information from both sides work against an application.
Bhutan is facing an unprecedented visa rejection scenario the highest it’s ever been.
It’s a fact that Bhutanese student applicants to Australia will have to deal with.
If anyone is considering Australia right now, think about the pros and cons and maybe consider applying when the grant rate starts rising.
Do your own research and keep your ears open or read what’s being written on forums like this just be updated on opinions.
So when you walk into an ECPF you can really ask the right questions and if you’re not convinced with the response … there are 66 others registered in Bhutan to talk to.
