The British Council’s Study UK campaign will be running its free online course for education agents and international recruitment professionals again from 2 March 2020. Since the MOOC launched in 2017, it has attracted more than 20,000 participants from 170 countries.

This free online course provides professionals working in student recruitment with the latest information about the UK as a study destination and with useful tools and resources to make their work easier.

Following the example of a typical international student, participants will learn how to advise them at every step of their journey, from their first decision to study abroad, through to the support they need while living and studying in the UK.

Topics covered will include:

• the benefits of studying in the UK;
• learning why students choose the UK;
• defining the skills, knowledge, and responsibilities needed to get students on to the right course;
• understanding how UK institutions support learners;
• exploring the resources available to support education agents and recruitment professionals.

This is a fantastic opportunity for education agents and recruitment professionals to:

• join an online community of like-minded individuals;
• interact with others and share relevant expertise while learning;
• access a range of free resources and guidance to assist with their promotional activity;
• learn with the British Council.

Registration to join the course is now open at www.futurelearn.com/courses/study-uk-education-advisors

Registration will close on 3 May, but anyone who has registered and started the course by midnight GMT on 3 May will still have time to complete the course.

There will also be a Facebook Live show at 14.00 GMT on Tuesday 3 March 2020 for interested participants to meet the course leaders and ask questions. Register for the event at www.facebook.com/events/196735941510551/
