Something amazing and very surprising happened to me when I was searching for internships online and I came across IFERS. I was a medical student in Ivano Frankivsk National Medical University in Ukraine. I had financial challenges in school in terms of paying tuition fees and hostel accommodation fee. I met IFERS and with the help of Prof. Newton Lee I got a scholarship from IFERS and they paid my tuition fees for 4 full years until I graduated from the medical school. I am now a doctor serving the poor community in my home country. To me, IFERS is a God sent in my life. I would like to thank Prof. Newton Lee and IFERS for all the support they have been giving me, and I pray that they continue to help needy students across the globe.

I took up an opportunity to come to the U.S.
I took up an opportunity to come to America for a 6-month attachment... My parents were not convinced but they chose to respect my decision. They were concerned that the attachment will not add value to my future career and I will just be wasting 6 months in America. However, my instincts strongly believed that this golden opportunity will instead, push me closer to my personal aspirations. While I am young and have this strong desire to learn from the best. These 6 months have definitely been a highly enriching and eye-opening experience. I am very excited for my future and believe that I am now one huge step closer to my own dream... The skills learnt in the internship had enhanced my innovative spirit and willingness to experiment with new system designs and capabilities in my current work. The American experience had built a good innovative thinking which enabled me to continuously think out of the box.

I am really glad to have found IFERS
I am really glad to have found IFERS, Prof. Lee and his team. When I first contacted them, I learned about their traineeship placement program. I interviewed with Prof. Newton Lee in a skype call and they helped me updating my CV to US standard. Then established contact to a US company for me to interview with them. I was offered an opportunity with room for growth! Prof. Lee and his IFERS team are very caring, responsive, and assisting me step by step along my traineeship placement and visa application process. It’s my dream to work and live in the US and it is coming true thanks to Prof. Lee and his IFERS team.

Be careful with IFERS and Prof Newton Lee
The same story. I ve contacted the IFERS and Prof Newton Lee. Paid for the search for internships. As a result, the endless replies that they are in search, in reality it was as if they were not doing anything. After 1.5 year of their search, I asked with hundred of messages to refund my money, saying that otherwise I would contact the financial police. As a result, not all of the money was returned and there was no result. It seems that the company is promoting itself well but after all Im not sure all their stories are true. I do not advise to contact this institute.
Be careful.

Sir Newton Lee is a great person.I have known him on social media,he has so many titles and he is very professional.I was very lucky because he and his team at IFERS helped me pass the job interview for my internship in the USA.They are always there for me day and night to answer my messages via emails.They are very helpful people.I am proud of their profession.
Sir Newton has always encouraged me to improve my skills,and I have published a chapter "Crisps Fish-Pork Paste" in the international cook book "ICU Culinary Book"in 2019.
Newton and his team found me a great employer in the USA for my internship job as a "chef"in 2020. I am very greatful to Sir Newton and his IFERS team of wonderful people!Once again,I am very happy and thankful.
