What value-added services do study abroad agents have?

Abstract: With the continuous development of economic level and the gradual improvement of people's living standards, more and more people choose to study abroad. But studying abroad needs a lot of things, so it needs the help of relevant institutions. Many students and parents will find that the service content of different agents is very different when looking for an agent to study abroad. So what services do study agents need to include? Generally speaking, study agents provide regular services and value-added services. Conventional services include consulting services, visa consulting and interview consulting, while value-added services include overseas survival courses and background enhancement services. Let's take a look at the contents of the intermediary service for studying abroad first. Formal service of study abroad intermediary

1, consulting service

After the students and parents come to the intermediary, the consultant or planner of the intermediary needs to sit down with the parents and students to understand the students' situation and needs and provide overall consulting services for the students' intention to study abroad. It includes: a general introduction to the education system, academic system, major, recommendation and introduction of institutions, fees, application process and fees of the target country. After the first consultation, students and parents will comprehensively consider whether to sign a contract with an intermediary. If a contract is signed, the intermediary will generally conduct more in-depth study abroad planning and communication in details.

2. Services such as online application, material translation, document guidance and material delivery.

Now most schools need students to submit online applications, which is what we often call online applications. Copywriters from general agencies will come to help students submit applications online. In addition, the intermediary also has to translate various materials for students, such as diplomas. In addition, intermediary teachers should also provide students with document guidance or writing services. Instruments include personal statements, letters of recommendation, essays and other categories. Finally, the teacher of the study abroad agency will collect the students' application materials and help them send them by international express delivery.

3. Information feedback service

After students submit grades, apply online and send materials, the school may send emails to communicate with students. Then the teacher of the study abroad agent needs to communicate with the students in time and give feedback.

4. Visa consultation, interview consultation and other services.

Many foreign schools have to interview students to decide whether to admit them, so interview counseling is particularly important. In addition, for the United States, Canada, France, Britain and other countries that need face-to-face visas, intermediary teachers should provide visa counseling before student visas.
