School-specific
Getset’s face-to-face counselling will help you decide on a school for your child that best meets their ability and your requirements.
Many schools require that your child takes a math examination and an English entrance examination. Getset will arrange the time and venue for these exams, and can help you enroll in an English language course.
Not everyone fulfills the requirements to study at a university. We can help you find a pre-university course to help fill the gap, so you can enroll in a university.
Getset’s face-to-face counselling will help you decide which College best meets your requirements for A–levels or a Foundation Course if you need to get qualified for university entry in the UK.
