What To Expect Next Quarter

We always have something new and exciting on the go. We’re currently working on:

  • An Online Application renovation to improve usability and support easier processing for our Registrations Team.
  • Developing a “shadow/umbrella” brand for our ELS, ILSC and Greystone College collective – this will support our future marketing efforts, and help us showcase our cohesive, merged brand presence.
  • Launching (or prepping) marketing collateral for NEW Greystone College Programs in both Canada and Australia (actual promotion launch dates are dependent on program submissions and approvals by our accrediting bodies).
  • End-of-year website updates (pricing, start dates, adding new programs pages, and updating some current program details.)
