”Nicky assisted me with my study visa application to the University of Pretoria - a tedious and somewhat frustrating process which through her assistance, became a seamless experience.
She was very helpful throughout the entire process, from gathering the required documentation to the final submission.
She undoubtedly possesses a great deal of industry knowledge and expertise and I am proud to call myself a 2 time university graduate.
I`m truly grateful for what Nicky has done for me and highly recommend her!”


"Nicole... We can't thank you enough for the excellent service you provide and being there for us through a very anxious time...
your advice, expertise and experience through the whole process of the University applications and Visa processes are second to none...
I must say...you really have these processes fine tuned!
Can't thank you enough!

"Mrs Nicole Griffiths is quite efficient, experienced, and reliable in the work she does. It's clear that she understands the assignments well that would be required and is in tone with how the processes work. She is very nice and interactive as well as inquisitive. These characteristics of her enable her to learn about her clients and help them better understand what they're involved in and guide them in making the right choice. I am quite grateful for her assistance and her patience and persistence in putting up with me and meeting me to discuss matters at varying times. Mrs Griffiths has a good level of organisation and is concise and precise in what she does. Thanks to her, I got through the VISA process very quickly. She is definitely a good choice in getting aid and advice for university applications."
” Nicky certainly delivers. I had given up but then suddenly my daughter had a place at the Uni of her choice.
The next week she had a place in res. Almost a miracle! Nicky guided us through the labyrinth of online application forms, explained the process of working with the matric board and so much more. Using Nicky was definitely one of my more inspired decisions. ”

”Nikki has helped all 3 of our children in obtaining student visas for South Africa.
Lauren and Ross about 8 years ago and more recently our youngest son Greg.
Nikki has always been unbelievably helpful and precise in the requirements involved in obtaining a student visa.
With our latest experience with Nikki myself and my wife met Nikki with our son Greg.
Nikki insisted that Greg brought with him a note book and she methodically went through everything with Greg.
We were hugely grateful for Nikkki's assistance without which we would have been completely clueless.
Once Greg had all the final paperwork and requirements in place Nikki requested a final meeting before handing over his Visa application.
Throughout the process Nikki has always been very helpful and approachable.”

You were very clear and made sure everything was very organised which cut out a lot of the confusion with all the documentation.

This is my testimony on Nicky’s university application support.
I was a Peterhouse student in 2024 and to be frank clueless on the application process. I applied to UCT and thanks to Nicky I was able to get in. Her support was immense reaching as far as the day of my visa appointment.
