The name International Development for Educational Advancement (IDEA) originated when a group of experienced professionals sat down together and had this bright idea to utilize their experiences and talents into helping international students from all backgrounds by providing excellent educational services in order to help them grow and fulfill their ambitions.

IDEA provides a one stop shop to individuals, whether in schools, LEAs, higher education establishments, or other institutions looking for high quality professional help and support. Our members provide the high-quality and highly skilled pool of talent needed to provide that support. All our Members work to a strict Code of Practice that provides a benchmark for their integrity and the quality of their work. IDEA's affairs are managed through a small elected group of voluntary Directors. You can find out more about the services and details about the consultancy throughout this website.
