Jason Watt of The Immigration Magazine in Melbourne has been contacted by a concerned student regarding the possible closure of, and warning letters to international students from Focus Learning in Melbourne.

Jason has contacted the CEO who has uncategorically stated that Focus Learning is not closing, and further advised that students receiving messages should speak to Focus Learning because they may be coming from competitors or bad agents.

Following this phone call Jason received further email correspondence from his source (international student) that students are sitting in the administrative area waiting to speak to someone from Focus Learning.
