For those who choose to apply with the support of an education agent, the information below outlines Felsted’s commitment to the UK Agent Quality Framework and the standards we expect from our consultant partners.
Our Pledge
Felsted School is committed to the UK Agent Quality Framework (AQF) and pledges to maintain the highest standards of agent management, ensuring the UK remains a leading study destination for international students.
Through this pledge we commit to:
- Empowering student choice and enabling informed decision making.
- Ensuring good agent governance and professionalism.
- Promoting ethical agent practices, professional knowledge and competency.
- Increasing transparency and accountability.
Educational Consultants
Choosing an international study destination for your child is one of the most important decisions you can make. Wider family and friends may be able to help but making a final choice and applying to an education provider for your child can be daunting. This is why some families get help from an education agent, consultant or counsellor.
We expect all our educational consultant partners to adhere to The National Code of Ethical Practice for UK Education agents and to follow The Good Practice Guide for UK Education Agents Partnering for Quality.
Students and Families
We encourage all prospective students and families to understand the role of agents working with UK-bound students and the service they should provide.
The following resources have been created to provide students, parents and families with information on the role of an education agent who supports applicants to UK schools, and to outline the professional standards you should expect from them:
