The British Council provides regular professional development training opportunities for school counsellors in China. The training sessions offer accurate and up to date information and resources to support in-country counsellors to develop their knowledge of UK education and build their capacity to support their students who are interested in studying in the UK.

This autumn the British Council is organising school counsellor training sessions in Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing and Guangzhou from 22 October to 5 November 2018.

The British Council would like to invite a speaker from the UK boarding school sector to give a 40-minute presentation at each session. The presentation should provide an overview of the UK university application procedure and cover best practice in supporting student applications. Each presentation will be followed by a Q&A session for the school counsellors.

Benefits to the speaker:

• an opportunity to demonstrate your thought-leadership in university application procedure
• an opportunity to meet and network with school counsellors in China
• an opportunity to raise your school’s profile amongst school counsellors in China

The British Council China will offer the speaker:

• an economy return ticket from the UK to China
• inland economy flights between event cities
• one-night’s accommodation in each event city
• one table on site to have face-to-face interaction with school counsellors
