Natrapi (Natti) obtained her Bachelor of Sociology and Anthropology from Thammasat University in Thailand
in 2010.
Her first job involved community news and community news production, then she moved on the work in
different fields including NGO, Human Development and Education. She went to Australia on Work and
Holiday Visa and joined Beyond Study Center, Melbourne in August 2016. Her main duties are to provide
consultation to new onshore students in Melbourne and look after our existing students recruited by our
Bangkok office.
Thai Work and Holiday Makers hold a subclass 462 visa, and DIBP announced that these visa holders are
eligible to get their 2nd visa if they work in Northern Australia, including Northern Territory. Beyond Study
Center and Thaiwahclub are specilaised in Work and Holiday market. We believe we could see more demand
of Thai youth going to NT and study. Natti is expected to travel to NT to learn more about the opportunities
in the territory and come back to promote NT to our target audience.
BEYOND STUDY CENTER
Beyond Study Center was established in 2010. The compnay has been helping Thai students wanting to
study in Australia with narrowing down the institutions of their choice, processing application, documents
pre-screening, visa processing, pre-departure breifing, and after arrival onging counselling.
The organisation also has strong ties to Work and Holiday workers as the founder of Thaiwahclub.com, the
most popular website for Thai work and holiday makers, is also the Managing Director of Beyond Study
Center.
Work and Holiday makers from Thailand may consider Darwin more from now on as they may aim for the
second Work and Holiday Visa in Northern Australia. Some of them may love the city and decide to stay
longer there too. Almost 100% of our recruitments are for institutions in Australia (very few to New Zealand
and the UK).
We promote Australia through its education, work and holiday program and Endeavour Scholarship, as our
director is the recipient of the scholarship. Natrapi, or Natti, who is participating in this famtrip, has worked for us as an education counsellor since
September 2016. Her duties mainly involve dealing with students, organising school visits and solving
problems for exsiting students. Our plan is for her to get more information about NT and its education and
tourism, and come back to create content with our team to promote NT.
