A recent survey undertaken by NEAS in conjunction with Study Travel Magazine shows that education agents are recognising the NEAS Quality Mark more than ever before.  

Growth rates in our Brand Recognition are at approximately 100% over the past two years.  Some quick and cheerful statistics for you!

Indeed, in Taiwan and Japan, more agents understand our value than otherwise! 

Ukraine 28.5% || India 33% || Korea 28.5% || Spain 38% 

Japan 51% || Thailand 39% || Turkey 29% 

Taiwan 67% || Argentina 33%

We have more work to do, but we are certainly on track for having the NEAS brand as synonymous with "Quality Assurance in ELT."

With thanks to agents and members for supporting the quality vision.
