Our story so far

We built a global network of experts

IDP has over 6,500 employees located in more than 30 different countries. Each of them bring their own unique insights, experience and skills to enrich our community and organisation. Over our 50-year history, our global community of experts has guided countless people on their journey to achieve lifelong learning and global career aspirations. We’re now expanding and unlocking this network of experts through technology to provide new opportunities and possibilities for our customers.

We then established a trusted global platform

In 2019, we strengthened our customer-centred ecosystem when we built our global platform. By bringing together our global customers, teams and organisations on one platform, our community has experienced deeper support at all stages of their journey.

We now have a connected community

With teams in more than 30 countries, IDP has always sought to improve the lives of people around the world. We are proud to contribute to the growth and prosperity of the communities we operate in by conducting our work in ethical and sustainable ways, empowering the next generation of leaders along the way.

Digital and human expertise combined

Human expertise remains the foundation of our digital platform. Our innovative technologies drive better human interactions, empowering and inspiring our customers to make the right decisions and reach their study and career goals faster. Keeping our community connected also helps us continuously improve and work smarter, basing our decisions on our rich global dataset.

What’s next?

In the next five years, we will continue to use technology to enhance the work of our trusted teams, offering even more innovative solutions. Our IDP Live app and FastLane service already speed up university application processes and reduce paperwork by matching students to courses faster. The IELTS by IDP app helps test takers prepare for test day and receive their results in one central portal. Through digital innovation, data science, and research and insights, we will continue to empower our customers to achieve their global goals faster and easier.

Over the past five years, we’ve been transforming our business by building a digital platform and unmatched global dataset to complement our human expertise and connections. Now that we have delivered our global platform, it is time to realise our vision of building a connected community to guide people with global ambitions on their journey to achieve lifelong learning and career aspirations.

For over 50 years, we have been the global leader in international education, building trusted relationships. Our investment in digital technology and customer research enhances these connections, delivering global success to students, test takers and partners. Proudly customer-first, our expert teams, powered by global technology, offer unmatched services, turning local dreams into realities worldwide.
