Our Team

You can have complete confidence in ICSSA to provide the level of service you need in this important area of your recruitment process.

As an indication of our level of expertise, we were invited by the BSA, (Boarding Schools’ Association) to attend a webinar aimed at school registrars and admissions departments as keynote speakers.

As authorised IAA advisors, we are regularly asked to contribute our exper- tise on webinars and in publications and to respond to all aspects of the visa application process, including the increased pressure on schools due to Brexit.

There are several important steps involved and we can help at any stage or indeed, complete the whole process on behalf of schools and students.
