Thailand Agent’s FamiliarisationTrip 2014: an ideal opportunity to develop business collaboration with proactive agents

The British Council Thailand is organising two agent trips for the year 2014, in order to enable Thai agents to gain first-hand experience; and to see the actual campuses, student life, and attractions the institutions and the cities are offering.

This will be an ideal opportunity for UK institutions to meet with a group of agents and is suitable for institutions still looking for quality agents from Thailand to work with. In addition, it will be an opportunity to show case facilities and services which the institutions are offering.

The group of agents will be carefully selected to ensure they have a strong commitment to promote UK education and have a specific interest in the sector.

The two trips will include:

1. Trip to schools, sixth form colleges, and independent colleges

Timing: 13-17 October 2014

About the trip and agents
UK School education has consistently grown in the Thai market within the past few years. It is one of the sectors which Thai agents are highly interested in.

A group containing a minimum of 8 agents will be selected, and we will ensure they are all committed to the school market. Profiles of agents will be sent to selected schools prior to the trip. Agents will be well briefed on the UK school system and basic information on schools or colleges they are visiting.

How to apply
For interested institutions, please complete the application form and send it back to the contact person below. The application will be treated on a first come first served basis, and how the route will be arranged.
