Why most consultants are free

Large education agents are paid a commission by the universities they place students into, so counselling and applications are usually free to you. That is normal — but it does mean an agent earns more by steering you toward a partner university than a non-partner one. Ask which universities they represent and whether your shortlist is on that list.

What should be free

  • University shortlisting and counselling
  • Filling and submitting university applications
  • Guidance on the standard student-visa process

Fee red flags

  • A guaranteed visa or guaranteed admission — no agent can guarantee a government or university decision.
  • A charge for a university offer letter — legitimate universities issue these directly, for free.
  • Any fee without an itemised, written breakdown — get it in writing before paying.
  • Pressure to hand over original documents (passport, certificates) — give copies, keep originals.
  • A blank form to sign — you are legally responsible for what is submitted in your name.
Accreditation & regulation

Look for ICEF-accredited agencies or those with British Council recognition, and avoid any agent that guarantees a visa or admission.
