ConsultancyCheck's own assessment, from public records and the company's own materials. This is our judgement — not a summary of student reviews.
How First Step Educational Consultancy get paid
First Step Educational Consultancy does not charge students a placement fee. Like most education agents, it is paid a commission by the schools, colleges and universities it places students into — including English-language (ELICOS) and vocational (VET) providers, not just higher education. That does not make its advice bad — but the agent is paid by the institution, not by you, so it has more financial reason to recommend a partner institution than a non-partner one. Ask which institutions it represents, and whether your shortlist is on that list.
