The Study UK campaign’s free massive open online course (MOOC) for education agents and counsellors is now live. Since the MOOC launched in 2017, it has attracted more than 15,000 participants from 167 countries.
This free online course provides professionals working in student recruitment and consultancy with the latest information about the UK as a study destination and with useful tools to make their work easier. Using 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 counsellors.
This is a fantastic opportunity for professional education practitioners 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 open at www.futurelearn.com/courses/study-uk-education-advisors
Registration will close on 27 October, but anyone who has registered and started the course by 27 October can still complete the course in their own time.
Please encourage education agents, counsellors and other professionals who are involved in international student recruitment to register for and complete the MOOC. A promotional toolkit containing website copy, newsletter copy, social media copy, visual assets, and an FAQ is available on Dropbox to support promotion.
