Consulting service: After students and parents come to the intermediary, the consultant or planner of the intermediary needs to sit down with parents and students to understand the students' situation and needs and provide overall consulting service for their 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.
Online application, material translation, document guidance, material delivery and other services: At present, 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.
Information feedback service: after students submit their grades, apply online and send materials, the school may send emails to communicate with students about related matters. Then the teacher of the study abroad agent needs to communicate with the students in time and give feedback.
Services such as visa consultation and interview consultation: Many foreign schools will require interviews with students to decide whether to admit the students, so interview consultation 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.
Additional value-added services of study abroad agents
The above are some routine services that study abroad centers should provide to students. However, with the progress of society and the development of studying abroad, many intermediaries have many additional services, such as:
Overseas survival courses: many students will find it difficult to adapt or don't know how to deal with emergencies when studying abroad, so some institutions will offer overseas survival courses to help students understand foreign life and society in advance;
Overseas academic courses: Many students don't know how to speak, debate or write papers after going abroad, which will affect their academic performance. So now some institutions provide corresponding value-added services;
Booking air tickets, hotels and shuttle services: these services are also one of the value-added services of the organization;
Visa processing for visiting relatives: some institutions provide visa processing services for parents in order to let parents of students have no worries;
Background enhancement service: This kind of service includes background enhancement projects such as helping students to contact internships and volunteer services, which are mainly used to apply for studying in the United States;
Counseling service of art portfolio: for students who apply for art, especially design, art and architecture, portfolio is very important. Some institutions provide consulting services for portfolios.
