Participant Testimonials from recent EXPO Latin America Road Shows
"You
provided invaluable information that none of the other fair organizers produce.
FPP support was excellent and the volume of students is impressive. I'll
recommend this tour to other colleagues at my school, and hope to try a couple
of cities again next year."
— Dan
Chatham, Director of Recruitment, University of
California
(
San Diego),
USA
"As this
was my first experience with both FPP Edu-Media and
Brazil
I approached the Road Show
with limited knowledge and experience in this country, as such I expected to
rely on the advice of FPP Edu-Media. I was not disappointed - the FPP Edu-Media team
ensured that I had access to agents; directed students to my table throughout
the exhibitions; and made recommendations throughout the tour. Just one week
after the events, and I already have a student signed up for the Diploma of
Horticulture."

LeeAnn O'Brien, International Development Officer, Moreton Institute of TAFE,
Australia
"I have
been attending shows in many countries on many continents for over 10 years,
and the recent FPP shows were some of the best I've seen in a while. Non-stop,
high-quality students from start to end! I didn't even have time for a break!
I'd highly recommend the FPP shows to anyone interested in making contact with
both high-quality students AND agents. Feel free to use me and give out my
e-mail as a reference for your shows."
— Bob
Korzeniowski, Vice President of Operations,
Archer
College,
Canada
"I found
the quality of FPP's Brazilian tour to be very impressive - from the
information provided predeparture, to the organization while in country, to
the quality and number of students present in each city."

Katie Lotz, Director of International Studies Program,
Lake Land College,

the attention, accommodation and service were excellent. Student numbers were
very good. The Centre for English Teaching was looking for new agents,
therefore the workshops were very useful for us."

Dario Consoli, Head of Marketing and Communications,
Politecnico di Milano,

“I was overwhelmed by the number of students
in
Lima. I gave
out all the materials I had brought with me in a little over 3 hours. I was
genuinely impressed with the high quality of the students, agents, and
accommodation.”
— Mary
Moya, Director, Rutgers – State
University
of New Jersey,
USA
"As you
know, I participated in this year's March Road Show and believed those events
were the best we have ever attended in any country. But this September, the
fairs and workshops were even better - you have improved upon perfect. We
enrolled six students at the
Sao Paulo event
alone, four students in
Porto Alegre and four in
Curitiba. Four
of these students start their courses in November, plus the amount and
high-quality of e-mails we are receiving from students we met at the EXPO will
lead to many more enrolments - I'm sure. Another note - the social events, you
organize and the opportunities you provide for participants to get to know
each other over the week are very enjoyable. See you in March 2006 - I already
can't wait."
—
Wenderson Mota, Director, Austral
Idiomas,

"I found
FPP very organized and efficient in the planning of the Road Show, and they
responded quickly to any questions I may have had. The staff was also very

kind of promotional venture. Overall, the quality of students was
excellent."

and attract a lot of interest from potential students. It is always a great
pleasure to come to the Road Show. We never get bored during the fairs due to
the important number of visitors. Everything was organized perfectly well in
order to help schools meet as many students as possible. The support and
attention given by the staff is very much appreciated. To be so nicely welcomed
by such friendly and competent people, just makes us want to come back!
