MEET THE FOUNDER

The Person Behind Every Student's Journey

Abin Mathew Varghese — Founder and Director of Guide to Heights, QEAC Certified study abroad consultant, Kerala and UAE
🏆 Best Consultant 2023–25

Abin Mathew Varghese

Founder & Director — Guide to Heights

QEAC #10439 British Council #49805 MBA — Deakin University Masters IT — Deakin University

Abin Mathew Varghese is not a typical education agent. He is a QEAC Certified Education Agent Counsellor (#10439) — one of only a handful in Kerala to hold this internationally recognised Australian credential — and a British Council Recognised consultant (#49805) for UK admissions. He holds both an MBA and a Master of Information Technology from Deakin University, Melbourne, which means he has personally lived the international student experience from application to graduation.

"Every student who walks into our office represents a family's trust and a student's entire future. I treat every case the way I would want my own family to be treated — with honesty, full information, and zero hidden agenda."

Before founding Guide to Heights, Abin built a deep understanding of the Australian immigration landscape, university admissions systems, and the specific challenges faced by students from Kerala and the GCC. This firsthand knowledge — not secondhand information from training manuals — is what sets G2H apart. He personally reviews every student's academic profile, oversees GS statements and SOP preparation, and remains reachable throughout the visa process.

Under his leadership, Guide to Heights has achieved a 100% visa success rate for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 Australian intakes, has been awarded Best Study Abroad Consultant three consecutive years, and has built a student community of over 1,000 members — many of whom refer their own family members back to G2H.

OUR STORY

Built on a Simple Belief: Students Deserve Honest Guidance

Guide to Heights was founded with a single, non-negotiable principle: every student, regardless of their academic background or financial circumstances, deserves honest, expert advice about studying abroad — completely free of charge. No commissions passed on. No university pushing. No misleading "guaranteed visa" promises.

What began as a consultancy serving families in Kochi, Kerala has grown into a three-office operation spanning India, the UAE, and Australia — with the same founding principle intact. G2H is now one of the only consultancies in Kerala to hold both QEAC certification for Australian admissions and British Council recognition for UK admissions simultaneously.

CREDENTIALS & CERTIFICATIONS

Why Credentials Matter When Choosing a Consultant

Anyone can call themselves a study abroad consultant. QEAC certification and British Council recognition exist specifically so that students and families can verify the credentials of the person advising them — before trusting them with their future.

🇦🇺

QEAC Certified — PIER

Registration #10439

QEAC (Qualified Education Agent Counsellor) is the internationally recognised credential for Australian education agent counsellors, administered by PIER (Professional International Education Resources). It is awarded only after passing rigorous competency assessments in Australian immigration law, visa regulations, education systems, and ethical counselling. Guide to Heights is one of the very few consultancies in Kerala to hold this credential. When you work with G2H for your Australia student visa, your advice comes from a formally assessed, internationally verified source — not guesswork.

🇬🇧

British Council Recognised

Registration #49805

British Council Recognition is the official endorsement from the UK's international education authority that an agent meets their standards for advising students on UK university applications and student visas. It verifies G2H's knowledge of the UK admissions system, UCAS processes, UK student visa requirements, and ethical representation. For families in Kerala and the GCC planning to study in the UK, this credential confirms that G2H's guidance is backed by the British Council's own quality framework.
