With some agencies, you may not always know the background of the individuals interacting with you or your children. There might be uncertainties regarding their criminal records or their suitability to work with underage students in the UK or their country of operation.

We enforce strict safeguarding policies and conduct rigorous background checks on all staff. This includes comprehensive police record screenings (UK DBS and international equivalents), ensuring only trusted and qualified individuals work with you or minors, giving everyone peace of mind.

While education advisers are skilled at promoting universities, they often lack profesonal experience in key areas such as the British education system, immigration regulations, student counselling, and educational budgeting. Their recommendations may also be influenced by commission structures, leading to pressure sales tactics, with undisclosed financial incentives potentially influencing their advice.

At Academic Action, our staff are qualified experts in their fields, from the British education system to immigration processes, including up-to-date knowledge of immigration procedures in line with IAA guidance, ensuring that students are connected with properly authorised support when needed. They bring extensive experience in student counselling and educational budgeting, all while adhering to strict ethical guidelines. This ensures transparent, unbiased advice focused solely on the best outcomes for students and their families.

Most agencies excel in providing advice and support before travel. However, their responsibility typically ends once students arrive at their destination, leaving families to face accommodation issues, course changes, and the complexities of a new system and living standards on their own.

Academic Action provides a superior service that exceeds standard expectations by fully representing students throughout their entire education journey. We offer comprehensive support and representation for university-related issues, as well as employment guidance and professional development in the UK. This ensures that our students receive continuous, holistic assistance from enrolment to graduation and beyond.

Traditional agencies often lack robust procedures, audits, and adherence to country-specific rules, risking your sensitive financial and personal data. This can lead to lost documents, data sales, and scams, compromising your family's safety. In fact, the education sector was the second worst-hit by data breaches in 2021, highlighting significant vulnerabilities.

At Academic Action, we ensure top-tier safetyand privacy with stringent policies. We align with the UK's NSPCC (NationalSociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children) and ICO (InformationCommissioner's Office), and we conduct regular audits to meet British GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) standards.

Have you ever considered who is entering your school during university fairs? Do you know to whom you are sharing your students' details? With some agencies, there might be uncertainties regarding the background of individuals interacting with your students. This includes potential issues with their criminal records or their suitability to work with underage students in the UK or their country of operation.

We enforce strict safeguarding policies and conduct rigorous background checks on all staff. This includes comprehensive police record screenings (UK DBS and international equivalents), ensuring that only trusted and qualified individuals interact with your students. By maintaining these high standards, we provide peace of mind to both schools and parents, knowing that their students are in safe hands.

Although agencies promote international scholarships, these opportunities are often limited and primarily targeted at those who can afford international education. This focus can exclude students from diverse financial backgrounds, limiting access to global learning experiences.

We ensure access to study abroad opportunities for all students, regardless of financial means, backgrounds, or disabilities. We advocate for inclusivity in universities and foster projects to increase financial support for students. Our commitment is to make international education accessible to all, fostering a diverse and equitable learning environment.

Agencies have zero engagement in the development of schools. Their focus remains on student recruitment.

Academic Action actively seeks to enhance the internationalisation of your school, attract new students, and strengthen student wellbeing. We provide Continuous Professional Development (CPD) opportunities, qualifications enhancement, and skills improvement initiatives for educational staff. Our commitment extends beyond student support to fostering the overall development and success of your educational institution.
