Straight answers to the questions students ask most.

Including the ones where the honest answer does not help us sell anything.

Are you really a British Council authorized registration centre?

Yes. FRS Global Network is an authorized IELTS registration partner centre. This means you can book your IELTS Academic, General Training or UKVI test with us at the official British Council fee, on official test dates, with no markup. You receive the official confirmation directly from the British Council.

How much does it cost to study abroad from Bangladesh?

It depends entirely on the country. China and Hungary can be completed for a fraction of the cost of the UK or Australia, and scholarships change the picture again. In your first consultation we build a full cost sheet for each realistic option, covering tuition, living costs, visa fees and airfare, so you can compare properly rather than guessing.

What IELTS band do I actually need?

Most undergraduate and postgraduate courses ask for overall 6.0 to 6.5. Nursing, teaching and some professional registrations require 7.0 in every band. Some Chinese and European universities accept a medium of instruction certificate instead. We confirm the exact requirement for your target universities before you book a test date.

Do you charge a service fee for university applications?

Our consultation and assessment are free. Application service fees depend on the country and the number of universities, and we tell you the exact amount in writing before you commit to anything. There are no fees added later.

What happens if my visa is refused?

We analyse the refusal notice, identify precisely what the officer objected to, and advise honestly whether a reapplication is realistic or whether a different country is a better route. Our refusal rate is low because we do not submit files that are not ready, but when it happens we stay with you.

Can I prepare for IELTS online?

Yes. Our Customized and One to One courses are available online via Zoom or Google Meet, which suits students outside Dhaka and those working full time. Group courses run in-centre so that speaking practice works properly.

How do I book an IELTS test through you?

Call, message or visit us. We confirm which test type you need based on your purpose, check date availability against your application deadline, verify your passport details, and register you on the official British Council platform at the official fee. You receive confirmation with your test date, reporting time and venue.

Can I take a mock test without joining a course?

Yes. Standalone mock tests are available to anyone. Many candidates take one purely to decide whether they are ready to book the real test, with no obligation to enrol in anything afterwards.

How long before my intake should I start the process?

Nine to twelve months for a comfortable timeline. It can be compressed to four or five months if your IELTS is already done and your documents are ready, but a compressed timeline removes your margin for error, and errors in this process are expensive.

Do you help with scholarship applications?

Yes. We identify scholarships your profile realistically qualifies for, including university merit awards, the Stipendium Hungaricum, Chinese Government Scholarships and Finnish institutional scholarships, and we prepare the applications with you. We do not apply to schemes you have no chance of winning simply to appear busy.

Can I apply to more than one country at the same time?

Yes, and for many students it is the sensible approach. Applying to two countries with different requirements and timelines gives you a fallback if one visa is delayed or refused. We manage parallel applications regularly.

What documents should I start collecting now?

Academic transcripts and certificates from SSC onwards, a valid passport, bank statements covering at least the last six months, and employment or business documents if you or your sponsor are working. Delays in this process are almost always document delays, so starting early is the single most useful thing you can do.

Do you offer online counselling for students outside Dhaka?

Yes. We counsel by phone, WhatsApp and video call, and our Customized and One to One IELTS courses run online. Some steps such as biometrics, the TB test and the visa centre appointment require travel, and we plan those with you in advance.

What makes you different from other consultancies?

Two things. We tell you honestly when your profile does not fit a country, before you spend anything. And we do not submit files that are not ready, even when the student is impatient, because a delayed application is always better than a refused one.
