End-to-End Aspiring Student Experience

Learn more about the future student journey and how it intersects with you!

Awareness
How do students become aware of study options for the first time? The role of marketing communications at this stage is vital; this is "push and pull" at its best; students are reached directly using paid marketing or are attracted by referees, influencers or organically

Consideration
Future student's decision-making process commonly includes three components: location (country, state and city to study), education provider (quality, rankings, price, etc.) and course (intended level of study, graduate outcomes, etc.).

Assessment
Beyond how rankings, graduate outcomes and influencers (parents, agents, friends) affect decisions, not only "profession", but other components which include passion, vocation and mission should be part of the mix that help students choose what to study

Expression of interest
At this stage, students want more information, the more information the student provides, the better the answer will be . IQAP will qualify prospective students using bots in various languages, servicing students 24/7 and using Natural Language Processing to then connect them with the relevant counsellor.

Counselling
In this critical stage, a peer-to-peer connection between a student and a relevant person, i.e. agent counsellor, staff member or even alumni or student ambassador is what makes the difference and alters the future student journey.

Assertion
Following student's counselling, communication and clarity about their study options, managing the student information along with providing quality information about the intended course or education provider via quotes is part of a proper CRM execution.

Application
This is the climax in a journey that has a beginning, middle, and an end. At this point, online applications are a must, long gone are the days of paper or PDF applications; the future of this stage is about machine learning and document verification.

Assessment
Most applications tend to be incomplete and missing documentation to fully meet entry requirements. At this stage, even academic staff may need to get involved in assessing applications. There is definitely more than meets the eye in this stage; multiple variables take place for the process to be seamless, factors include demand, course, nationality and entry requirements, among others.

Admission
At this stage, students are either admitted or rejected, if admitted, offers issued can be unconditional, conditional or packaged with other courses. This is the legal document that defines the contractual relationship between a student and an education provider. The process that takes place for this document to be issued can make a world of difference for both the student and the university or college.

Acceptance
It is very reasonable for students to hold in their hands more than one letter of offer, the average is three, and as application systems become more comfortable and faster to use, that number will increase. The process of accepting offers involves the payment of fees, including tuition and often health insurance. We have partnered with CohortGo to do this online.

Visa
This is a step that students should take ownership of the most. Education agents and migration agents can assist. A student visa is a process that is managed by governments. The main reason for students to rely on third parties to help with their visa application is the fear of rejection.

Enrolment
This is the last stage of the aspiring student journey, and the beginning of one of the best experiences students will ever have. There are many areas to consider, from accommodation to transportation. Track real outcome results using IQAP.

My education expert, he is the most patient, responsible and kindest agent I've ever seen, even so much better than those ones I've literally paid for. The whole serve is totally free of charge from my end and the service quality is above the top. My expert always replies my messages quickly and provides information I just need. I applied for a MPA degree through them and the whole process just went really smooth, when I feel that accounting is actually not for me deciding to change to a different major, my expert gave a phone call in person asking what I am really passionate about what I am good at, leaving me a whole bunch of uni info to think about. the service is definitely 10 out of 10.
