How much is the agency fee for studying in Shanghai?

For a long time, parents have been concerned about the intermediary fees in the early stage of studying in the UK. Wise consumers should clearly understand the fee structure and rationality of each intermediary, and know how to identify the traps in the intermediary contract to avoid risks.

So, what is the general fee for studying abroad in the UK? As far as superior education in the UK is concerned, the fee is 12, yuan, and the agency promises consumers that if the applied school is unsuccessful, the agency fee will be fully refunded. Next, Mr. Wang will tell you what the agency fees for studying in the UK include.

Intermediary services include a series of services, such as preparing materials to apply for a school and get an admission notice, preparing materials to handle visas, handling notarization, booking air tickets, arranging accommodation, picking up the plane and so on. Almost all the fees for studying abroad in the UK cover all the fees for students in the process of applying for studying abroad. Generally, the comprehensive evaluation is free. After writing PS, letters of recommendation and papers for students, they submit application materials online, pack all the materials for students and send them, actively contact the school, strive for admission opportunities for students, interview guidance, guide students to choose their own schools after admission, visa training, mock face-to-face interviews, etc. Before students leave, many study abroad agents also Of course, in this process, students can't be shopkeepers and actively participate in it. They need to provide more materials for the writing of documents, so that the written documents are more attractive.

according to his many years' experience in superior education, Mr. Wang has made statistics that in the process of applying for studying in the UK, the third-party fees are not included in the fees of studying in the UK. The postage sent to the school, the registration fee for taking the language test, etc. all require extra expenses from students and parents, and the studying agent will not bear this part of the fees. Estimated application fee, mailing fee and examination registration fee.

At the same time, British superior education reminds consumers that they must pay attention to the following problems:

First, the multi-channel charging sources of study abroad agencies (students and cooperative institutions)

The profits of most domestic study abroad agencies mainly consist of two parts, one is the commission returned by overseas institutions, and the other is the service fee paid by students. Generally speaking, study agencies have signed agreements with overseas institutions to successfully introduce a student, and the study agencies can get the commission returned by overseas institutions, which is usually a certain proportion of the students' tuition fees, generally 1%-2%, which varies from country to country. In addition to obtaining the commission from the school, the study agent will also charge the students a service fee, which is the so-called study agent fee, including the fees for applying for colleges and overseas service fees. Therefore, we must first recognize that no study abroad agency is charitable, and all of them are for profit. Moreover, some foreign institutions recommended by study abroad agencies can give them high commissions themselves!

how to test the trustworthiness of an institution studying abroad? Let's look at the number of G5 universities they successfully apply for each year. We should know that there is no cooperation mechanism between G5 university and any institution, so there is no commission rebate, which can be used as a way to test the application strength of institutions. Youyou Study Abroad is an overseas study institution that has been certified by the British Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the British Foreign Office, the London Embassy, the British Immigration Service and the British Undergraduate Official Admissions Center (UCAS). With its excellent service, Youyou Study Abroad has gained a very good reputation from users in just a few years after entering the China market, and 2-25% of its successful applications every year are from G5 University. The strength can be seen.

Second, recognize the gap between the brand packaging and the actual strength of many intermediaries.

Many intermediaries will make good signs, such as: professional consultants, who have many years of overseas study experience, are fully familiar with foreign education systems, and ensure that the customer's application process will not have any defects in the use of information resources; A strong study abroad document team and a document writing team composed of graduates from world famous schools can provide customers with well-planned study abroad programs; Professional service, the team of foreign professors will make the final check for students' application documents to ensure that there are no loopholes in your documents, both in language and thinking mode. In fact, it is very simple to know whether this intermediary agency has goods or not. Let them take out relevant successful cases, relevant excellent documents and relevant consultants' experience. In a word, don't be confused by the superficial brand packaging!

As an intermediary agency focusing on studying in overseas high-end universities, Britain is superior in studying abroad, and its consultants have very high experience. In the UK study abroad industry, the average annual number of consultants contracted by the industry is about 5, but the average annual number of consultants who study abroad is over 9. Therefore, new regulations have to be made for studying abroad in the near future. If the number of consultants reaches a certain level, assistant teachers must be arranged to follow up. In terms of documents, excellent study abroad has always insisted on constantly improving the team's cooperation and the absolute originality of the document quality requirements, which has greatly guaranteed the international students when applying. In terms of professionalism, the consultant teacher is extremely professional. The consultant teachers who are excellent in studying abroad have a very strict requirement before becoming a full member, that is, they should make 3 study abroad plans. And these schemes are all worked out by consultants and teachers who go to school in official website. And the application cases of prestigious schools are rich. Advisors who study abroad are given an admission notice from Oxford or Cambridge almost every year. Of course, superiority can't be compared with some claims that there are dozens of Oxford and Cambridge in a year, because superiority in studying abroad is never bragging.

The unique advantage of studying abroad is closely related to the joint team of Chinese and British teams. Obviously, not every institution can realize joint office with foreign countries. For intermediaries who have no office conditions abroad, joint office is tantamount to a fantasy. When many students consult, although many institutions claim to have offices abroad, in practice, most of them are anchor points, and there is no real operation team.

thirdly, you need to be careful about the high fees for VIP packaged in fancy names.

The work of study abroad consultants is of a sales nature. To put it bluntly, the recommendation of VIP service is firstly the evaluation of your economic level by study abroad consultants. They will not recommend so-called VIP services, exclusive services, super study abroad services, etc. to a middle-income customer they think is 5, to 6, or even more than 1,; It is also impossible to promote the most common study abroad service to a customer they think is a "local tyrant". For example, some institutions have launched visa VIP service, which can guarantee a higher visa rate. However, according to Teacher Li of Shanghai Representative Office of Superior Education, experienced consultants know that the visa rate depends on the preparation of materials and the mood of visa officers. VIP has no effect, but it has no effect on the VIP of service institutions and visa officers.

and there is such a situation in most organizations. After providing VIP services as far as possible in China, they vowed to ensure that there are branches in the UK to provide follow-up services. However, some students said that before leaving, XX organization told him that there was a branch in the UK, and when he finally arrived there, he wanted to change his major because his major was not right, so he went to their office in the UK for help. In fact, it was just a leather bag office, and he didn't know whether he had the qualifications or not.

Of course, these unreasonable so-called VIP service charges will be seen through by consumers and even complained. As long as it is a well-known institution studying abroad, there will be complaints. Many intermediaries will ignore the solution of after-sales complaints, but the superior complaint rate in Britain is very low. In the excellent Sino-British joint service system for studying abroad, there is a mechanism to deal with complaints and applications, and we can ensure that problems can be solved as soon as possible to ensure the interests of customers. Moreover, the complaint rate is directly inversely proportional to the treatment of consultants.

Finally, the contract must be clear. There are many hidden clauses, which easily make students fall into the trap of "zero refund".

In the contract terms of many study abroad agencies, there are many traps for the clients (that is, the students themselves) to break the contract. Once the contract is broken, the service fee cannot be refunded. For example, some contract terms will specify when the trustee will provide all the materials of the application for admission to the intermediary. If the students fail to provide them within a fixed time, it is equivalent to breaking the contract; Some contracts stipulate that the applicant can't make or provide false documents or information, otherwise it is equivalent to breaking the contract. However, what is the definition of this false document or information? Is a small error in the report card or a small error in the referee's information also false materials or information? However, many intermediaries will seize this handle and try their best to blame the customers themselves.

experience shows that many students have strayed into the wolf's den because they didn't read the contract clearly, and finally their applications were fruitless, and the fees could not be refunded. On a certain platform, they saw a classmate complaining that they could not apply for a full refund from the school before signing the contract with an institution they signed, but after signing the contract, they changed the originally scheduled school without authorization and changed the guaranteed school to an unknown school. In the end, the students only got the offer from the guaranteed school and were unwilling to go.

However, superior education will carefully proofread every item with students every time it signs a contract with them. In the words of Teacher Li of superior education, we would rather have more trouble in selecting schools in the early stage than have any problems in the later stage of application. It can be said that it is a clear stream in the complicated intermediary institutions.

Moreover, it adopts the way of joint work between Chinese and British teams, and comprehensively controls the coordination of students' application for studying abroad, so as to prevent the occurrence of small mistakes that should not be made. On the one hand, it ensures the smooth progress of school application, on the other hand, it also embodies the attitude of never shirking responsibility. At the same time, excellent study abroad also has a strong advantage in overseas services for the follow-up study abroad. This working method of providing service support jointly by the Chinese and British teams has made excellent overseas students gain a very good reputation from users in just six years after entering the China market.
