“Conocí a Inova en a la Feria de Universidades Británicas en Bolivia, me pareció increíble el servicio de apoyo que brindan a estudiantes latinos, sin costo alguno. Desde el principio fueron muy profesionales, me guiaron en todos lo pasos para poder hacer realidad mi sueño, desde buscar una universidad hasta revisar los detalles de la visa, siempre están muy atentos y brindan la información necesaria en cada una de las etapas. En todo sentido son un gran equipo, todos son muy amables y siempre están dispuestos a ayudar.
Hoy escribo esto desde Bristol, Reino Unido, muy feliz de estar empezando una nueva etapa en mi vida. Gracias a Inova por todo el apoyo y la guía en cada paso de este sueño, son la mejor empresa y la mejor coincidencia de mi vida. Sin duda alguna, siempre los recomendare y les agradeceré por todo."”
