ISC Research: Testimonials
Testimonials
Kate Bailey, Centre for Evaluation and Monitoring
We began using the ISC database eighteen months ago to help us with our work with international schools. It has been an invaluable tool. Emails and direct mail are made simple and we are guaranteed to be using the most up-to-date information. It has greatly facilitated our international marketing activity and we would recommend ISC to anyone wanting to forge new contacts in the market.
Tony Child: MD of WCBS
Anyone who is serious about doing business with international schools must consider the ISC Research online database and systems as a key part of their marketing plan. The ability to analyse the market, identify schools using a range of criteria, and communicate with them directly, is essential. ISC Research does this and more in a reliable and cost-effective way.
Peter Monteath: Research & Strategy Manager, University of Cambridge International Examination
We really like this new service. Cambridge International Examinations has been able to use the ISC Research service as a one-stop shop for targeting and contacting schools. The service is extremely useful: the data is much more comprehensive and up-to-date than anything else and we are able to find new schools as they open.
Peter Maisey, International Marketing Executive, Nelson Thornes
The ISC Research database has been extremely beneficial for us. I am confident in the knowledge that we have accurate and up-to-date information. The system makes targeting international schools quick, easy and effective. I have found it invaluable and would highly recommend it.
Mark Roelofsen International Manager BESA
The British Educational Suppliers Association (BESA) is the UK trade association for suppliers of educational resources to schools, colleges, and universities. With over 280 members supplying materials from furniture to the latest in ICT and for all curriculum areas BESA is able to provide schools across the world with independent information on reputable suppliers from UK companies, large and small.
We work with numerous partners but this relationship with ISC Research Ltd is unique in that it is the first with an organisation whose remit is focussed on the international school market. The depth of knowledge possessed by ISC Research is unparalleled and to be able to access their network and market intelligence will be a significant interest to BESA. In particular we will now be able to contact schools in regions where we are active. BESA has an extensive programme of international events, comprising both trade missions and exhibitions. Thanks to the link with ISC Research we will be able to inform schools in the market, and neighbouring regions, of our presence in the area and, for example, invite them to any seminars or workshops we are running.
Trevor Rowell, Chair of COBIS
The arrangements between ISC Research and COBIS give both organisations and the growing number of COBIS member schools access to vast amounts of non-confidential information held by ISC Research about the rapidly growing number of international schools around the world. COBIS believes that data of this range, quality and reliability is available from no other organisation. We look forward to working with ISC Research on appropriate research projects.
Mariana Huston, Information Product Solutions. Mercer (Polska)
I found the database very useful and it was easy to find the information that I needed. The database can be searched by city, level of education provided etc. which was extremely helpful.
As our company frequently requires the contact information for various international schools as well as information on the number of international schools in a given city/country, I am sure we will looking to purchase access for a longer period of time. Contact with the staff at ISC Research is excellent, and they are quick to respond and are very supportive.
