This model highlights CISI's commitment to ensuring that learners feel safe and supported, no matter where their academic journeys take them.
CISI doesn’t just stop at providing insurance. The organization is dedicated to fostering safe travel experiences, and it currently caters to the needs of more than 150,000 travelers yearly, covering travels to more than 200 countries worldwide. The support extends beyond just coverage; participants benefit from 24/7 assistance services, which include multilingual support, access to healthcare professionals, emergency medical evacuations, and help with urgent travel necessities. This level of support provides invaluable peace of mind for students and their families, ensuring that they can focus on learning and cultural exchange.

Our journey has been enriched by the relationships we have built with clients, partners, and team members who share our mission of connecting the world through education and cultural exchanges."
CISI's global footprint is extensive, with offices and partnerships in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, and Australia. This strategic positioning enhances the organization’s ability to provide direct support to participants not only from the U.S. but also international students coming to the U.S. from abroad, as well as educational groups studying overseas. Such a comprehensive network facilitates effective communication and assistance, underscoring the organization’s commitment to supporting global learners.
