Ahead of identifying a genuine education consultant, you should have done some amount of research work for yourself. For example, what program to pursue, the main objective of the selected program, which college/university, special benefits of the selected college/university, which country/location, your future goals, financial capability and so on.
There will be no use of approaching a foreign visa consultant unless you are not clear about your goal. It’s a fact that not many students research about their interest, they directly approach the consultant and expects everything to be ready made for them. Students who are clear about their requirements and are well researched will try to get more information from the consultants as an addition to their research.
Inorder to identify a genuine foreign visa consultant Internet can also help you out. You can visit the consultant directly and inquire about their accreditation, licenses and even ask about their past experiences. You can even log on to their website to know more about the consultancy. You should be always clear with what the consultant is advising to you and what all queries you need to put forward. Don’t hesitate in asking questions. Also inquire about the additional services provided by them like coaching, travel briefing, assisting for visa interview process etc.
Many of the consultant’s even take advantage of the students who are not well researched or who don’t have any idea what to do next. Eventhough the student has secured pretty good grades in his/her academics; the consultant will try to secure his/her admission in the college/university that they have partnered with though the student can be referred to other good universities as well. For them, its business, they will be looking for their fees.
Whereas a genuine consultant will normally start their interaction by identifying the student’s area of interest, conduct an aptitude test, check his/her academic grades, career goals and the financial capabilities and then only the consultant will provide the student different options according to his/her requirements. These consultants are licensed individuals who help the students in fulfilling the dream of overseas education.
Student visa rules vary from one country to another and so approaching a foreign visa consultant will be helpful for you.
