We have the same situation. i did go to firtrust first pero parang im not satisfied with their service now na wala na si Mon. Currently i am talking to an agent from KOKOS sydney, she's a filipina and i knew her way back nung nag try din ako to consult thru AMS Global. so far I am ok naman with her and it helps na nandun siya and she's also giving me helpful tips.
btw, are you going for the July 2017 intake?

I'm currently processing my school application to University of Melbourne and I found out that they (unimelb) don't entertain direct applications. All applicants must undergo education agent. I'm currently looking for TRUSTWORTHY and RELIABLE education agency. I'm curious about KOKOS and I found out that they are partnered with almost all the universities and private colleges all across Australia. AND... i thought they're only processing student visa to Australia pero they also process pala NEW ZEALAND student visa.Good thing also is they have Auckland office (im also considering AUT kasi) I will go there next week, maybe Monday. I'll give you guys feedback. Sana maging okay yung consultation.
Thanks

They have shared with me very few schools that are in line with what I am actually looking at for an application. They did a great job in terms of school consultation and approach to me. That's the reason why I already started an application with them and I'm just waiting for my letter of offer. I like the professionalism very much.
