Agent Registration

Education Agent Application

The provider engages with a network of education agents to represent and promote its training products to intending overseas students. Our agents assist these students with the application process and promote our courses internationally.

We only engage education agents who have appropriate knowledge and understanding of the overseas education system in Australia, including the Australian International Education and Training Agent Code of Ethics. This may be demonstrated by undertaking the Education Agents Training Course (EATC) offered by PIER (Professional International Education Resources) and providing evidence of having completed the Qualified Education Agent Counsellor (QEAC) qualification or evidence of being a Registered Migration Agent or Registered Legal Practitioner.
