Oana Study in UK

Last week, I had the honour of representing AVG Education at the European Parliament, contributing to discussions on integration, education access, and diaspora empowerment across the UK and EU.

These conversations matter. Migrant communities across Europe continue to face barriers to recognised qualifications, career progression and economic participation — despite being highly skilled, multilingual and deeply committed to the countries they now call home.

At AVG Education, we've spent the past several years working directly with these communities — supporting over 37,000 students from 27 nationalities to access vocational training, professional certifications and career pathways in the UK. We're proud to have been recognised as an award-winning consultancy for three consecutive years.

My own path — from starting in the UK in a frontline role to now leading at AVG Education — is part of why this work is personal to me. Education was the turning point, and I've seen first-hand the impact the right support can have.

Grateful for the opportunity to bring these conversations to a European platform, and to continue advocating for stronger education access for diaspora communities across the UK and EU.

We were honoured to meet with the Ambassador of El Salvador.

Not for a photo opportunity.
For a conversation that matters.

How do we expand access to education and career development for communities that are often overlooked?

At AVG Education we have been answering that question since 2018.

37,000+ students. 27 nationalities. Award-winning three years in a row.

We presented the pathways, guidance and support we provide to help individuals — regardless of background — gain qualifications, develop skills and access better careers.

Because we believe education is not a privilege.
It is a right.

We are proud to support not only the Salvadoran community — but every community investing in their future through learning.

🎓 Education opens doors.
🚀 Opportunity changes lives.
🌍 Success should be accessible to everyone.

I arrived in the UK at 24.

Housekeeping. Reception. Beauty sales.
A business that went bankrupt.
Universal Credit. Divorce. Starting from zero.

And then — one decision that changed everything.

Today AVG Education has supported 37,000+ students from 27 nationalities.
Award-winning three years in a row.
5/5 on Trustpilot.

I am not sharing this to impress you.

I am sharing this because the people who built this with me
came from exactly where you might be right now.

They were working jobs that didn't reflect their potential.
They were looking for something that felt meaningful.
They found AVG Education — and they never looked back.

Our marketing affiliates don't just earn.
They change lives. Every single day.

They help Eastern European immigrants in the UK
understand that education is not a dream.
It is a tool. And it is accessible to them.

If you are:

✓ From an Eastern European background
✓ Living and working in the UK
✓ Looking for a role that combines income with real impact
✓ Ready to be part of something bigger than a job

— then I want to talk to you.

AVG Education is constantly growing.
And we are always looking for the right people to grow with us.

Not just anyone.
The right ones.

Send me a message. Let's talk. 👇

Something I did not expect when we became Main Sponsors of the Romanian GCSE Campaign:

Dr Tessa Dunlop — a British historian and academic — is one of the most passionate advocates for the Romanian community in the UK that I have ever met.

She is fighting for Romanian children to learn their mother tongue in British schools.

Not because she is Romanian. Because she believes it is right.

If a British academic shows up for our community with that level of dedication — the least we can do is show up too.

Sign. Share. Support. 🇷🇴🇬🇧

I used to think £1,500 a month
was good money.

I didn't know I was
in survival mode.

The difference between
£2,500 and £5,000 a month
in the UK is not effort.

It's one qualification.

Which level are you at right now?
