The Agent Quality Framework
The Agent Quality Framework (AQF) aims to enhance the experience of international students who are working with education agents and counsellors to apply to study in the UK. The AQF offers a set of tools to support agents and counsellors to gain the right knowledge of the UK higher education sector, and of the UK visa and immigration system, in order to uphold the UK's reputation as a premier study destination.
