The UK Agent Quality Framework (AQF) sets out the standards and good practice expected of UK education providers and education agents working together in international student recruitment. As expectations around transparency, accountability and ethical recruitment continue to grow, organisations need more than an awareness of the framework. They need to know how to apply it consistently in day-to-day practice.
This practical course explains the AQF in clear, accessible language and shows how its principles can be embedded in everyday recruitment processes. Through practical examples, you’ll learn how to support stronger partnerships, improve consistency, and build confidence that your organisation is working in line with recognised good practice.
