Intermediary refers to an institution that assists students in handling application materials and collects intermediary service fees separately. The study abroad agency provides study abroad consulting services for many institutions in many countries, which does not represent any institutions and has nothing to do with them; The study agent only assists students to apply for materials, and does not guarantee the success of the application. Moreover, intermediary services are limited to the application stage and do not provide help for later study abroad. We can distinguish them by the above characteristics of study abroad agents.
First of all, study abroad agencies provide study abroad consulting services for many institutions in many countries, which does not represent any institution in any country and has nothing to do with schools. You can test it and ask if you can set up multiple institutions in different countries.
Secondly, all study agents only assist students to apply for materials. Intermediary service is limited to the application stage, and it is not responsible for the safety during studying abroad and whether you can graduate. You can test whether you provide life service and academic security after entering school, and if so, whether there is a clear charging standard.
Finally, there is no learning center in the name of the country in any country, and there is no unified learning institution in the Belt and Road Initiative. In any case, the study agent is not affiliated with any school, so there is no guarantee that the application will be successful. Taking "Institute of Transportation Technology" and "Transportation Technology" as examples, we can test whether we can guarantee the success of the application and sign a compensation agreement for the failure of the application.
