About Uniserv Education
Uniserv Education is the most institutionally accredited large-scale education consultancy in East Africa. Founded approximately 17 years ago under CEO Rahim Kassam, it has grown from a single Nairobi office to a nine-country network with branches in Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia, and the United Kingdom. All counsellors hold ICEF quality accreditation — the international benchmark for education agent training — and are destination-specialists rather than generalists, meaning a student applying to Canada will deal with a counsellor whose entire caseload is Canada-focused. Uniserv holds priority agent status with over 400 global institutions, which translates into faster application processing and direct communication lines with admissions teams — a material advantage during peak intake seasons. The firm is also active in organising university open days, on-the-spot offer events, and pre-departure sessions, creating more touchpoints with students than most competitors. Its London office allows post-arrival continuity for UK-bound students. Consulting services are free; Uniserv earns commissions from partner institutions.

How Uniserv Education get paid
Uniserv Education does not charge students a placement fee. Like most education agents, it is paid a commission by the universities it places students into. 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 university than a non-partner one. Ask which universities it represents, and whether your shortlist is on that list.
