Education

As educators and foreign language enthusiasts it is our goal to promote education and cultural exchanges in as many ways as possible. The more traditional ways include study tours and student exchange visits. Our education consultancy projects involve international student recruitment, foreign language tuition and intercultural consultancy sessions.

The promotion of student exchanges offer many advantage for students and educational institutions alike and the Caribbean is well placed to benefit from this. In our region of South and Central America we have countries where English, French, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese are all spoken. How can the English speaking Caribbean benefit from these learners and tap into this market?

At the Brazil Link we assist both institutions and learners achieve their different goals. These could include increasing student numbers, recruiting different types of students (graduate, post graduate) or even drafting recruitment marketing plans. For students we can help identify the right place for you to study, the right course based on your objectives.

The education institutions of Trinidad and Tobago are fantastic options for international students. Our brand in Brazil – Intercambio no Caribe – is where students from Brazil  learn about study opportunities in the Caribbean. Since 2014 we have been working with educational institutions within the Caribbean to help them successfully attract international students who wish to undertake undergraduate, post-graduate and English as a Second Language courses.

With numerous competitively priced courses available, the Caribbean is an ideal destination and feasible alternative for students from the Americas. Students may be looking for more affordable destinations to complete their degrees and some may also be looking for places to spend holidays and learn English. Competitive course costs, a wide range of them at all levels of tertiary education, world class institutions, highly qualified and internationally trained staff as well as top of the range infrastructure are some more great reasons why our region can be viable options for foreigners.

Our location 11km from the South American continent and in close proximity to other islands and countries in the region allows us to welcome foreign students and educators alike. Trinidad and Tobago is only a few hours away from Central and South America with regular direct and indirect flights to the region via Panama, Suriname, Curaçao and Miami.

Whilst encouraging international students allows the strengthening of international relationships and bilateral trade agreements it also brings in much needed foreign exchange through both education and tourism. By aligning our strengths as world class educators and a tourism destination we are now able to develop different market segments to cater to the needs of our international customers. The Brazil Link helps institutions develop their courses and plans to meet the requirements of international students. We also assist institutions in developing their own brand and export marketing plan to attract more students. For more information contact us
