How To Choose The Right Education Consultancy?

The number of Bhutanese students pursuing further studies abroad has increased significantly, and the education consultancy sector in Bhutan has experienced substantial growth over the past few years. As of now, there are about 38 education consultancies under the Ministry of Education of Bhutan.

If you’re unsure about choosing the right education consultancy for you or your loved ones, we’re here to help. 

Below are a few essential factors to consider when choosing the right education consultancy.  

1. Representation Of The University Or Institution You Want To Attend

First, you need to verify whether the education consultancy represents the university or institution you have chosen. This is important because it will allow you to have your questions clarified more quickly. 

Sub-agent consultancies in Bhutan do not have a direct link with universities and must navigate through other agents in India and overseas for admission and query-related matters. 

Furthermore, these agents will possess less knowledge about the university and will need to rely on other agents to process your application.  

2. Success Rate

An education consultancy’s success rate will always define how that education consultancy is doing. A student’s profile is important, but at the same time, the education consultancy’s affiliation with the universities will also help. Check the number of visa grants and success stories to determine their success rate and visualize the likelihood of your admission to the university.

3. Year of Experience

Always remember that the longer an education consultancy has been in business, the more experience it typically has. Their years of experience demonstrate their exceptional performance.

4. Service Offered

Applying to a foreign university or college can be challenging because you need to compile a bunch of documents. 

In such situations, it is advisable to choose a reputable education consultancy. They can guide you throughout the process. The best education consultancies will help you select the course that best fits your career goals and educational background. 

They will assist you in choosing and applying to a university. The consultancies will follow up with the university regarding your application and advise you on proper visa documentation. Additionally, they provide information about scholarships, collect documents to facilitate your visa application, and help you get settled.

5.   Recommendation and Reviews

With the digitalization, you can learn more about education consultancies online through reviews and comments. 

If you’re undecided, check the websites and social media pages of the education consultancies to get a better idea of how they are performing and the quality of services they provide. 

It is also good to seek recommendations from others who have used the services of that particular education consultancy before. They will be in a better position to let you know regarding the services offered by that specific consultancy and help you make an informed decision.

It is always recommended to check the education consultancies properly first so that you won’t regret your decision later.
