More Than Admissions – A Family
Our Story
VMN Connects Education Services, formerly known as Aksharam Education Abroad, was founded in 2008. Since then, we’ve helped over 1,000 students take the next step in their academic journey — locally and globally.
We began by placing students in Malaysian colleges and have now grown into a trusted education partner with representative branches in Qatar and India. Our global alumni network, known as the BIG VMN Family, is a testament to our lasting impact and support.
Our Vision
To be “The Talk of the Town” among young minds and empower them to be part of the BIG VMN Family.
Our Mission
To guide students towards the best educational opportunities with care, honesty and lifelong support, at the most affordable terms.
We walk alongside them throughout their academic journey and beyond, nurturing lasting relationships as part of our BIG VMN FAMILY.
Founder’s Message
Dear Students and Parents,
Welcome to VMN Connects Education Services.
VMN Connects was built on a simple yet powerful belief — every student, no matter their background, deserves the chance to discover the world through education. Since 2008, we have proudly guided hundreds of students and their families with care, integrity, and a deep sense of purpose as they pursue their academic dreams across the globe.
When I first started this journey, it was just me — sitting with students, listening to their stories, fears and hopes. My goal was never just to process applications, but to walk alongside each student during one of the most meaningful phases of their lives.
Today, VMN Connects is a recognised and award-winning education consultancy, officially registered with the Registrar of Companies Malaysia and rebranded in 2017 to reflect our growing global reach. We have successfully supported students in securing placements from foundation to PhD levels in destinations such as the UK, Australia, Ireland, Malaysia and beyond.
But our secret isn’t in the numbers — it’s in our values.
We don’t just process applications. We build relationships.
We mentor. We stay in touch. We celebrate your wins — and we are here when things get tough.
At VMN Connects, you’re never just a number — you’re family. We offer one-on-one consultations, personalised course and university matching, application and visa guidance, accommodation search, and even post-arrival follow-ups. Because we care deeply about where you’re going — and who you’re becoming.
So if you’re thinking of studying abroad, know this: you don’t have to figure it out alone. Let’s talk. We’ll guide you every step of the way — from your first inquiry to your graduation day.
Your future is waiting. Let’s explore it together.
Warm regards,
Vijay Menon
