i have discovered a website that offers filipinos a chance to study and work in the uk. the website is www.kirstenstudent.com. i'm wondering if anybody else has come across this site and if so, is this for real? how are we to know if this isn't a scam. there is a down payment of $500. this is really good if it's real. i'm interested. why don't you check it out and let me know what you think about it. to those who know what's this really share your tips. thanks.

I found that they have three major branches located in Manila, Cebu and Iloilo, the first thing I would suggest to you is to go to either one of the three brnches and check them out physically. Then verify them in Labor Dept. I check their overall traffic ranking in Alexa:

Looks to me this is very new website so never risks too much on this one at once.

Hi, yes I got the chance to check out that website and i even had the chance to meet one of their "sorry clients/students" here in U.k. So much promises they gave to the students but most of them are broken. May pangyayari pa na minsan di umano nila sinundo sa airport ang napa lipad nilang mga kawawang estudyante, na kasama di umano iyon sa kanilang mga binayaran. Yes they assist to get student visa but for a very very big amount, and even still ask their clients/students to pay them monthly when they already arrived in the U.K.
There are a lot of agencys in the Philippines that u can chek out but beware of the scammers coz even here in the U.k there are so many fly by night schools and schools that does'nt acknowledge by U.k boarder agency/embassy.
I hope this info will somehow help u, good luck and God bless:)

I really dont go with those sites that are asking with a downpayment or processing fee. If they really want to help a person to work or study abroad, everything should be free, they will just have to be strict in the selection process...
