Student's guide to selecting an education agent

  • A good agent is more than just a title.
  • Visit their office – is it professional, welcoming, and well-organised?
  • Check if they’re listed as official partners on university websites.
  • Read student reviews – consistent feedback speaks volumes.
  • The right agent will be happy to give clear, honest answers.
  • What do they know about UK universities and study options?
  • Do they charge any extra service fees – and are all costs clearly explained?
  • Are they licensed in your country and trained in UK visa rules?
  • Do they offer support after you arrive in the UK?
  • A good agent advises you, but you make the final decision.
  • Do their recommendations match your goals and interests?
  • Are they listening to your preferences – or pushing you in a direction?
  • Take your time and choose someone who respects your future.
