Agent Quality Framework

Our commitment to the Agent Quality Framework (AQF) demonstrates our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of agent management, ensuring the best experiences for our students. Established by the British Universities’ International Liaison Assocation (BUILA), Universities UK International (UUKi), UK Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) and the British Council, the framework provides guidance and quality assurance tools to ensure ethical agent practices across the sector, operating according to the following principles: 

• Enabling informed decision making to empower student choice 

• Maintaining agent governance and professionalism 

• Promoting knowledgeable and ethical agent practices

• Increasing transparency and accountability

Students can read more about working with Education Agents in the AQF Student Guide to Choosing an Education Agent.
