Important Considerations
Counseling Is About Making Informed Choices
Admission requirements, immigration rules, examination requirements, tuition, living costs and university policies can change. We help students understand the information available at the time of counselling and identify the next steps that need confirmation from the relevant institution or authority.
At ARFET, every child has a path. Our job is to help you find it, attach a skill to it, and guide you to the right university — in Nigeria or abroad.
