The Agreement is a Key Element of EEIQ's Growth Plan of Internationalization

MIDDLETOWN, Ohio, March 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EpicQuest Education Group International Limited (NASDAQ: EEIQ), ("EpicQuest Education", "EEIQ" or the "Company"), a provider of comprehensive education solutions for domestic and  international students seeking college and university degrees in the US, Canada and the UK, today announced that on March 3, 2025, EduGlobal College ("EduGlobal") entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with Northern Lights College ("Northern Lights"). The Agreement is designed to provide an expanded pathway for international students seeking to transition from English language studies at EduGlobal to diploma and degree programs at Northern Light's campuses in British Columbia.

Jeff Romonko, Vice President of Operations and Strategic Development of EduGlobal College, commented, "We are pleased to enter into this Agreement as it furthers our mission of providing our international students with the best possible options to further their academic journeys and professional development. EduGlobal is renowned for providing the very best of English proficiency courses, providing international students the linguistic skill set needed in both academic and professional settings."

"The Agreement is expected to provide expansive international recruitment opportunities for EduGlobal while also supporting Northern Light's enrollment efforts. Students completing the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program at EduGlobal will gain the academic preparation and language proficiency necessary for success in Northern Light's diploma programs in such fields as business and technology. We feel strongly that our greatest reward is the ongoing success of our students and their ability to find fulfillment in their personal and professional lives," EduGlobal's Jeff Romonko concluded.

Under the Agreement, EduGlobal's EAP program will serve as an approved pathway for students to meet the English language proficiency requirements for admission into Northern Light's diploma programs. Further, students who successfully complete EduGlobal's EAP Level 2 program will be eligible to enroll directly in programs at Northern Lights without the need for additional standardized language testing.

EpicQuest Education's Strategy of Internationalization

EpicQuest Education's strategic growth plan is to achieve sustainable growth through internationalization through its owned and operated Davis University and EduGlobal College. The two schools have become increasingly focused on international recruiting and enrollment as they provide enhanced globalized learning to their students as well as pathways to achieve university degrees. The Company's foundational programs essentially exports its academic programming internationally at an affordable cost: international students can study in their home countries while earning course credits prior to their attendance at the Company's two institutions of higher learning in the US and Canada. A vital component of EpicQuest Education's strategic growth plan is to become increasingly engaged with international collaborations in order to leverage its distinct academic programming and unique culture of learning.
