FAQ | Goya de Hoog Consultancy

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

You shouldn't trust us simply because we say you can. Trust should be earned through experience, transparency, results, and professional boundaries. Jessica Goya de Hoog has professional experience in Australian visa processing and international education and is a Qualified Education Agent Counsellor (QEAC #14035).

We are also clear about what we can and cannot do. Jessica is not a Registered Migration Agent. Where regulated migration advice is required, we work with a Registered Migration Agent. We don't guarantee visa outcomes, and we don't tell you what you want to hear simply to secure a client. We would rather give you an honest answer than make a promise we cannot keep.

02. Why should I choose Goya de Hoog Consultancy?

03. Why should I trust your advice?

Goya de Hoog Consultancy provides personalised education guidance and visa application assistance, with a focus on Australia and the Netherlands. We help you understand your education options, compare pathways, assess entry requirements, provide the cost, prepare for your application and identify potential issues before you proceed.

For matters requiring regulated migration advice for Australian clients, we work with a Registered Migration Agent.

01. What can Goya de Hoog Consultancy help me with?

There is no single "best" institution for everyone. Rather than simply securing an enrollment, our role is to ensure your education choice aligns with your broader strategic goals. We carefully evaluate your:

Academic history & entry requirements
Career objectives & pathway options
Financial budget & course structure
Individual background & long-term goals

Our focus goes beyond finding a school. We ensure the program is the right fit, prepare you for the challenges ahead, and maximize the return on your personal and financial investment.

04. Do I need an education consultant to study in Australia?

Because your future deserves dedicated, personal strategy. As a boutique practice, we maintain limited monthly client capacity to ensure tailored attention for every profile.

All initial contact begins with our intake form. This allows us to evaluate your situation thoroughly and confirm we can add genuine value before taking on your case. If we are not the right fit, we will tell you upfront. No shortcuts. No false promises.. No shortcuts. No false promises.

06. How do I choose the right course or school?

Not necessarily. If your situation is straightforward and you understand the process, you may be able to manage it yourself. Our role is to provide value where professional guidance can make a difference, particularly when you are unsure about your course, pathway, entry requirements or application process. The question isn't simply “Do I need a consultant?” It's “Do I understand what I'm doing?”

05. Does getting accepted by an Australian school guarantee my visa?

Every client journey at Goya de Hoog Consultancy begins with our Intake Assessment Form. Because we operate as a boutique practice with limited monthly client capacity, we do not take on every case, we work exclusively where we can add genuine strategic value.

08. I want to avail your services. Where do I begin?

No. Admission to an education provider and a visa decision are separate processes. A school may determine that you meet its admission requirements. The Australian Government makes the visa decision based on the applicable visa requirements. That's why choosing the right course and preparing your visa application should be considered carefully and separately. An offer letter is not a visa guarantee.

Absolutely. Choosing a course is not about picking a title from a catalogue; it is about aligning your education with your long-term personal, career, and migration goals.

Through our intake process and strategic consultation, we evaluate your academic background, professional interests, and future aspirations to map out clear, viable study pathways. We help you make an informed decision, so your investment delivers real value.
