What kind of agents will be at the Forum?

The majority of participating agents is experienced education agents based locally. A typical agency recruits hundreds of students per year. Many agencies also have offices/ representatives in the countries where they recruit students. Education providers can arrange one-to-one appointments with them.

We also invite agents that are just starting their activity as education agents - usually migration agents who decided to focus on education only recently.

How are the agents selected?

Before approving agency participation, we carefully check 2 references from the agency.
