Eligibility criteria
To be eligible for the training, agents must have agreements in place with at least two institutions that are on the Register of Sponsors or are an accredited language school.

The certificate is valid for a period of two years after which the training can be refreshed. This certification guarantees that the respective advisor has passed the training and gained a broad knowledge of the UK education system and studying and living in the UK. Certified agents will be listed on the Global Agents List (GAL) (http://bcagent.info/gal/) which will be seen by students, institutions and influencers looking for international education agents who are British Council trained and certified.

We ask that UK institutions inform their education agents in Brunei to participate and register for the agents training by contacting Cecile.Dasal@britishcouncil.org.my .
