Why Go IGO?

 

We know what we're doing - and we enjoy what we're doing

   
IGO International was formed to meet the demand for a quality, specialist exchange organisation in New Zealand. IGO International's principals are Barbara and Dion Crooks, and Anne and John Smith, who, together, have close to 40 years of know-how and experience in organising successful exchanges.
   
   
The principals are experienced in every facet of exchange - they've hosted many students, selected and prepared New Zealand students to go overseas, prepared and counselled foreign students in New Zealand, supported New Zealand students overseas, escorted New Zealand students overseas, organised tours for foreign students in New Zealand, counselled and supported host families, and survived their own children's exchanges. They continue to enjoy international friendships.
   
   
You deal with the people who count. You get personal attention. We are not a huge organisation - we get to know you and your family personally; we care about you and treat you like real people.
   
   
Your exchange is a family affair - your parents are involved every step of the way and know what's going on. We have no secrets.
   
   
Quality is paramount to us - every step of the way.
   
   
You don't just sign up for an IGO International exchange and automatically get an air ticket. You go through a professional selection process, you and your parents get a thorough preparation over four or five months leading up to departure, we support you and your parents while you are overseas, we are available 24 hours a day if necessary.
   
   
You can have as much additional contact with us as you like - we're only a phone call or an e-mail away, and we'll always be thrilled to hear from you or your parents.
