Wonderful experience with IDP

Wonderful experience with IDP, special thanks to Mr Amar Trivedi (Sr. counsellor for Australia) for his exceptional guidance. From the very beginning, he helped us in shortlisting suitable universities and courses, and ensured that every step was smooth and stress-free. They were extremely prompt in sending out applications, and meticulously went through all the documents, pointing out even the smallest errors. Mr Amar`s attention to detail and professional approach gave us great confidence throughout the journey till now. Thank you Mr Amar and team IDP for the excellent support!

Dear IDP Team,

Dear IDP Team, I am writing this email to formally lodge a serious complaint regarding an extremely disappointing and unprofessional experience I recently had with one of your staff members, Ms. Swapna, during a counselling session for Australia at your Hyderabad office. To my shock, Ms. Swapna displayed rude, dismissive, and highly disrespectful behavior throughout the interaction. Her tone was unprofessional, her responses were arrogant, and at several points, she outright refused to assist or guide me properly. She repeatedly stated things like "I can say no 100 times" and showed no willingness to support or even listen properly. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable, especially from an organisation of IDP's global stature, which is trusted by thousands of students for their future aspirations. I felt insulted and belittled, as if I was being treated like someone off the street rather than a genuine student seeking guidance. It is extremely disheartening to see such an important counselling service being handled with such negligence and a lack of empathy. Her fearlessness in misbehaving shows a complete disregard for professional standards, which I believe should not be tolerated. I am seriously considering escalating this issue further, including sharing my experience on public platforms (X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Reviews) and directly contacting IDP Head Office Hyderabad and Pan India Leadership. No student deserves such treatment, and this must be addressed without delay. I am requesting: A formal apology from your team. Strict action against the staff member involved. Assurance that such behavior will not be repeated with any other student. Confirmation that this complaint has been acknowledged and will be investigated. I sincerely hope IDP will uphold its professional values and take swift and appropriate action. I await your urgent response. Note: I will defenatelt highlight in all idp handles for the reference for future student to see this is the respect i.will cc all head officials idp this is the imag

Lack of communication

Booked a course online and then got notified that the date was unavailable via email from a staff. The other dates in May did not suit and I requested about June dates. That was 4 days ago and I haven’t gotten a reply since nor are they replying to any of my emails. After spending €205 which is taken immediately I’m extremely unsatisfied

I had a great experience with IDP during my Australia student visa process. The entire team was supportive and knowledgeable. My counsellor guided me step-by-step from selecting the right university to submitting my visa documents. The process was smooth and they were always available to clear my doubts. Thanks to their efforts, I got my visa without any hassle. I would highly recommend IDP to anyone planning to study abroad.

DO NOT TAKE THE IELTS WITH IDP

If you need to take an online IELTS test, DO NOT DO IT THROUGH IDP!! After having communication issues over email the first time I booked the test, I rebooked the online IELTS test for the second time, only to have "connectivity issues" during the first part of the exam (speaking). Out of fear of losing more money, I tried cancelling and asking for a refund, but IDP kept urging me to reschedule despite the issues (I checked and everything was working with my laptop's sound but of course we customers know nothing right...). So I reluctantly reschedule, getting assurance from the IT team that should there be tech issues again, they will do everything in their power to fix it and will let me reschedule it again if it doesn't work. Lo and behold, in the middle of the reading exam there's tech issues again! And what happens next? After 2 emails, I'm informed that the exam is cancelled, no refund, no rescheduling, but I've been "kindly invited to book another session". If there really were connectivity issues on my side (my wifi was fine, my computer passed all the system checks), the effort and customer service attitude of the IDP team still left much left to be desired. All in all, if you need to take the online IELTS, do not do it through IDP. They're an unprofessional organisation, but they sure are professional scammers. I had a much nicer experience with the British Council.

Compromised

Do you know in some venues in Canada, you can actually buy your question booklets from the Test Day Supervisor? If it happened in Halifax, it can happen anywhere.

Avoid! Program froze + victim blaming

The propgram froze during the written exam, telling me to not close the window due to it "processing data" and my progress woud be lost otherwise. I immediately emailed the support, which told me it was my internet connection that failed and I should log back in (impossible, as their program had frozen) - and then later to restart my computer. By the time I had figured out that the test program had frozen, managed to force shutdown and restart it to log back in, they said I had exceeded the 300second time limit and the test had been cancelled. 260 USD lost, no option to refund, nothing. Not even an option to book a new test with less waiting time. The communication with their support is polite in wording (pre-written textblocks with lots of "please") BUT extremely rude in content - telling me it is my fault their program froze - even going so far as to point out that "Please note, Inspera software may pass the quality check initially, however, the internet should be stable and be at optimum capacity during the entire course of the test." (of course, my internet connection was as stable as can be and the storage situation did not magically change after 10 min of the test). Should have checked the reviews here first. Feels like a scam. Avoid.

Disappointed with IDP IELTS Listening…

Disappointed with IDP IELTS Listening Experience I recently took my IELTS exam with IDP and was extremely disappointed with the listening test setup. Unlike what I was used to during practice, IDP played the listening audio through loudspeakers instead of providing headphones. This made it very difficult to hear and understand properly, especially since I had practiced using headphones. Because of this, my listening score suffered—I got only 5.5 in listening, even though I scored 7 in speaking, 7 in reading, and 6.5 in writing. I lost money and now have to reappear for the exam, this time with the British Council, hoping for a better experience. I strongly believe IDP should either provide headphones or at least clearly inform candidates in advance about the audio setup. This would help test-takers prepare properly and avoid unnecessary surprises on exam day.

I know I made the right decision to…

I know I made the right decision to have IDP help me with my student visa application. They have provided me the best agent I could ever have! Ms. Claire has been so hands-on with all of the requirements I need. She also has been very responsive even during my random anxious moments. Every time I need a question answered she’s there in a blink of an eye! She has made the entire process less stressful as she provides not only logical solutions but also encouragement especially at times when I feel like a requirement is too difficult for me to produce. Another thing I admire is her politeness. She has always addressed me professionally even at times when I was annoying. Her dedication is so infectious that I carried it with me throughout the application. If you need an organised and hands-on agent, she’s the way to go! Thank you Ms. Claire for making my Australian dreams come true! ❤️

I was reaching out to IDP Canada for higher studies, They first say that they provided end to end support but will not do anything other than getting the information from you and filling the application form. Also, they do not pick the phone and provide answers promptly. Its always better to apply directly by doing your own research.

I am Sujata Chaudhary

I am Sujata Chaudhary. I recently got my student visa through IDP and studying now at Deakin university Melbourne Australia . IDP helped me a lot throughout the process and their consultants are very helpful and experienced. My consultant was Mrs. Kanwaljit, she is very helpful and has a lot of experience in this field. Her guidance and support was everything for me. With the support from her team and her experience I am finally able to fulfill my dream of getting into this big university. Many of other agents told me that you should not apply in physical education stream you don't get visa but with the hardwork of mrs.kanwaljit kaur i got visa in my course of master's of business sports management. Once again I want to say thank you so much Kanwaljit mam and the whole IDP team.

Never will take it from IDP

Never will take it from IDP I strongly recommend to book other company. I booked an IELTS Online at home at first. Then I got some issue about connection problem. I checked the internet connection environment and storages in my computer. I also wanted to make sure to log-in. However, they didn't allow me to check log-in. Then I didn't hear tutors sounds. While I was trying to figure out the problems, they just stopped and CS team text me like "You cannot take it more, and we cannot refund." This service is terrible and I won't take it ever again.

Review for IDP Education

Review for IDP Education I am immensely grateful to IDP and my counsellor Preeti Nijhawan for their exceptional guidance and support in helping me choose Canada as the ideal destination for my higher studies. her professional approach and personalized counseling made the entire process smooth and stress-free. My counsellor at IDP took the time to understand my academic background, career aspirations, and personal preferences, providing me with a range of well-researched options tailored to my goals. Her expertise in selecting the best colleges was pivotal, ensuring I chose a program and institution that perfectly align with my ambitions. What truly sets IDP apart is their unwavering commitment to building trust and transparency. They guided me through every step, from selecting the right program and college to understanding visa procedures and pre-departure preparations. Their support gave me the confidence to make informed decisions about my future. I wholeheartedly recommend IDP to anyone looking for reliable and professional assistance in pursuing education abroad. Their dedication and expertise make them the best choice for anyone embarking on this important journey. Thank you, IDP, for being an integral part of my success story!
