Tolga Dervish – Head of Sales for UK and Ireland

Started August 2011 bought in for his experience in the education sector for the UK and Ireland. Speaking of experience Tolga is the oldest member of the StudyPortals team at the age of 37! (although he looks like one of the youngest, lucky man!)

Tolga was educated a long time ago and attended Manchester Metropolitan University, gaining a BA in humanities (majoring on Psychology and Philosophy).

What appeals to him about StudyPortals

StudyPortals is a product created and sustained by students for the Students and this is the fundamental basis for success. The company is made up of people from all around the world and every lunch time we sit around a big table and eat together. This is the StudyPortals vision of the International education sector, a truly unified market, where everyone is welcome to the table!

Favorite StudyPortals Element

Results and service with a smile! Whomever you speak to or meet at StudyPortals you are guaranteed to have a positive experience. The same can be said for the results; with more and more Universities/Institutions facing pressure on their marketing budgets, they have to make sure every penny they spend produces results to achieve their objectives. StudyPortals is the only online platform in the UK and Ireland that has enough confidence in its product to offer a results based partnership. This means you only pay for the results you get! No more spending money hoping your advertising will work, With StudyPortals it is guaranteed to work. Hey and don’t take my word for it, ask our customers.

Key challenge

My key challenge is to have every relevant course in UK and Ireland listed on StudyPortals. Every University/Institution should have a visible presence on StudyPortals. Students need to know the full extent of what is available to them in the global education market place.
