A quality agents framework for a world class education experience
We all want international students to have the best experience of the UK. The Agents Quality Framework provides the tools for everyone to do their part in making that happen.
Agents and counsellors
The British Council’s agent and counsellor hub gives access to training and guidance on ethical conduct.
Education providers
The education sector can ensure they and their agents are following good practice and adhering to the national code of ethics.

International students
The international student guide briefs students on what to look out for when selecting an agent. Students can check the database of certified agents to check their chosen agent has the right knowledge and awareness of the UK as a study destination.
UK Agent and Counsellor Training
The British Council’s newly revamped, now free, UK agent and counsellor hub was developed in partnership with UK education sector partners, including UKCISA, UUKi, the Association of Colleges, the Council of British Independent Schools and English UK.
Agents and counsellors will now be able to access the latest topics including:
Why should students choose the UK as a study destination?
Preparing students for studying and living in the UK.
The UK’s visa and immigration system.
Employment opportunities and post-study work options.
In addition, international students and their parents will be able to check if their agent has the right level of knowledge via a public-facing searchable database of certified agents.
