The Key To Finding Right Education Partner For Abroad Studies
For the past 10 years or so, the prospect of study abroad has been gaining momentum in India. More & more Indian students are turning to overseas education to leverage the benefits of quality education, global exposure, etc. But when the time comes to actually put the plan to fruition, students are often baffled by the number of options available in terms of countries, universities, programs, etc.
At this point, they rely on the expertise of study abroad professionals to discover the educational path that’s best suited for them. However, due to their lack of awareness, students often fall victim to certain unprofessional and dishonest guidance which might cost them their future.
On that note, Edugo Abroad’s Managing Director, Mr. Chintan Modi, suggested some tips to help students avoid getting stuck with wrongful information and help them make smart decisions while choosing their admission partners.
He mentioned, “Drawing on my routine interactions with students and careful deliberations with industry experts, I have come up with an exhaustive checklist that’s supposed to beware students against the deceitful activities and aid them in selecting an ideal study abroad coach."
Adding to that, Mr. Chintan also reflected on Edugo Abroad’s work ethics and practices. “Edugo Abroad has always been and will always be a student-centric organization. The only goal that inspires us to get better and better with each passing day is that of student satisfaction with valuable services.”
In this blog, we examine the details of the checklist in question and take a closer look at how Edugo Abroad has assisted thousands of Indian students with its unique work approach.
The Ultimate Checklist For Selecting A Professional and Legitimate Consultant For Abroad Studies
Before you embark on your study abroad journey, it is crucial that you find out as much as possible about your companion i.e. the consultant/agent. An extra bit of effort at this stage will surely save you from plenty of future troubles.
You can get started by referring to your personal contacts and asking for their advice. Alternatively, the internet is a great medium that allows you to thoroughly research about study abroad agents.
Below mentioned are some of the most important things to review before finally deciding on your study abroad consultant:
#1. First and foremost, check the experience of the study abroad consultant. Visit their website and try to find out how long they have been in the industry. Typically, organizations with a proven experience tend to offer genuine results to the students.
#2. Verify whether the company/agent has a walk-in office for students. While a well-developed website adds to the credibility, the presence of a physical office gives a stamp of surety to the students.
#3. Check for the student reviews. Because that’s where the actual capabilities of a study abroad consultant are reflected. Make sure to go through the google reviews to get a clear idea about the quality of services offered by the company/agent.
#4. Examine their website for their work approach. What are the values that drive the organization? What is the work philosophy and approach adopted by the counsellors?
#5. Validate the consultant’s results with student testimonials. In addition to the google reviews, make sure to check student testimonials on the company website. On top of that, look for students in your social group who have had a first-hand experience with that particular admission partner.
#6. Find out if the company/agent has a strong digital presence. An active presence on social media channels and other digital platforms strongly indicates the study abroad consultant's authenticity.
#7. Recognition from international bodies and partner universities is always a plus-point because they serve as a certification of genuineness for the study abroad consultant.
#8. Always go through the university website before making your final choice and verify the details pertaining to course accreditation, fee structure, accommodation facilities, etc. to avoid any mishap in the future.
#9. If you already have certain study abroad destinations in your mind then make sure to check the organization’s case study for those particular countries.
#10. Supervise the document submission process to avoid getting blacklisted by the university/country in the future. Ask your admission partner to constantly keep you in the loop with all the processes.
#11. Lastly, ask your study abroad consultant if they provide post-departure services for the country you’re applying to.
Important note: Study abroad consultants are not authorized to confirm your admission to your desired university; it’s the admissions committee of that particular university that has the final say in the matter. So, do not fall for the false claims of ‘guaranteed admission’ made by unauthorized agents/companies.
