ADVANTAGES OF GOING WITH Your Education 1. EXPERIENCE 2. APPROVED & ACCREDITED Your Education is accredited by the Ministry of Education in New Zealand and with our vast experience in the exchange industry, we know exactly what is required to ensure a positive and memorable exchange for our students. To us, you will never be just a number – we will be with you every step of the way. Your Education complies with regulatory and Code of Practice requirements. We are a member of the New Zealand Council for Intercultural Education and adhere to the council’s principles of good practice. Your Education is required to provide pastoral care at the level prescribed by the New Zealand Goverment's Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students. 3. SAFETY Your safety is always our main concern. The advantage of going with an organised programme like ours is that there are mutiple layers of support available at all times to ensure you are never facing challenges alone. We have a 24-hour emergency number in all of our destination countries, ensuring you have full support during your exchange. Your parents are always welcome to contact us directly, too, if they have any concerns. 5. LOCAL NETWORK Your Education has experienced local representatives in all of our destination countries. We also have a partner office in each country with experienced staff who all speak English. This means that you will travel safely and receive high quality care, no matter where you choose to go. Our overseas partner organisation in the USA is accredited by the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET). Partners in our other destinations hold similar accreditations. 4. SERVICE & QUALITY Preparation is the key to a successful exchange. We are a New Zealand organisation so we understand the unique needs and challenges faced by Kiwi students going abroad. Therefore, we are able to tailor our preparation process with this in mind to maximise your chance of success. We have extensive preparation materials, personal student support and orientations specifically designed for Your Education students. These are just a few of the special services that we offer to ensure you and your parents are well prepared for your exchange. 3
