EducationB2B checks information, confirms authority, matches organisations and records agreed stages. Recruitment partners and providers remain responsible for student service, contracts, delivery and payments.

Organisation, programme and contact review
EducationB2B reviews core records. It does not recruit on a provider's behalf or make admission or visa commitments.
Programme presentation and authority
EducationB2B confirms authority and distributes controlled programme information. It does not take over counselling, applications, visas, accommodation or arrival services.
Programme matching and access requests
EducationB2B matches programmes, manages access requests and arranges meetings. It does not own students or restrict their freedom to choose.
Online and in-person discussions
EducationB2B supports online meetings and in-person partnership events. It does not collect tuition, service fees or other student payments.
Lead, application and communication records
EducationB2B retains agreed milestones and evidence. It does not handle or guarantee commission or other partnership payments.
Training, events and market information
EducationB2B supports counsellor readiness and market activity. It does not replace either party in contracting, invoicing, refunds or delivery.

Membership evidence and review priorities

Required for review

Core membership evidence

These records are required before a membership decision can be made.

a verifiable legal entity, registered address, official contact details and application administrator.
clear principal recruitment markets, cities, channels and student groups.
counsellors or service staff proportionate to the operating scale.
where students are charged, a clear service description, refund policy and complaint route.
no fabricated documents or false claims of authority, admission, visas or employment outcomes.
no unresolved material fraud, student-rights, payment or regulatory issue.

Optional

Additional supporting evidence

Useful evidence can strengthen the review, but it is not a condition of application.

historic applications, offers, visas, enrolment or retention; provider references or authority; office, branch or local-team evidence; school channels, digital acquisition or market activity; counsellor learning and certification.

Review points by organisation type

Recruitment Agency

student sources, counselling process, application material, fee disclosure and enrolment follow-through.

Education Consultancy

needs assessment, option comparison, family communication, progression planning and service boundaries.

Regional Distributor

territory, branch and downstream-channel registration, training, data consolidation and complaint management.

School or Counsellor Network

school authority, child protection, conflicts of interest and appropriate non-commission arrangements.

Programme Operator

operating or teaching authority, staff, student management, quality controls and delivery responsibility.

Master Agent

downstream register, authority scope, commission allocation, training audit and shared accountability.

Individual counsellor

a Certified Education Counsellor application reviews identity, affiliated organisation, foundation learning, programme learning and annual continuing education. The credential belongs to the individual, has a fixed validity period, does not qualify the organisation automatically and does not open every programme or commercial term.

Membership review confirms that the organisation exists, its market reach is clear and its recruitment service capability can be verified; it is not an award and does not require a perfect operating history. The standard review period is 3–6 months from formal review of a complete application. Time awaiting additional information, interviews, demonstrations or training is excluded. If EducationB2B makes a final decision that the applicant does not meet membership requirements, fees paid for that application are refunded in full. Voluntary withdrawal, false information or concealed material facts are handled under the contract. Annual membership begins only after formal approval. Approval does not promise a provider agreement, enrolments, contracts or commission income, and programme and commercial information remains subject to authorised access. The same 3–6 month rule applies to individual counsellor certification, with fees refunded under the same rule if certification is finally declined. Review membership fees and terms.

Progress through verified capability and continuing performance

Registered Organisation

Basic company verification is complete and limited network functions are available.

Verified Recruitment Member

Identity, references, counsellor training, compliance, Sub-agent disclosure, student terms and privacy controls are verified.

Preferred Recruitment Member

The organisation continues to meet quality, suitability, satisfaction, complaint, data and training expectations.

Strategic / Regional Member

The organisation can manage regions or downstream networks under enhanced disclosure, audit, data and accountability requirements.

An individual counsellor may build a Certified Education Counsellor record through identity review, foundation, destination and programme learning, annual continuing education, conduct records and periodic renewal, with a publicly verifiable digital certificate.

Before you apply

Questions recruitment partners ask before joining

Can members immediately see all 1,800+ providers and commission terms?

No. Programme, brand, commission, commercial and contact information opens according to the organisation's role, market eligibility, training, certification and provider authority.

Can a newly established organisation apply?

Yes. Where leadership experience, channel resources or service capability is clear, the organisation may receive a conditional status with lower initial limits and more frequent review.

May a recruitment organisation charge students?

Yes, where the law permits and the provider allows it. The organisation must state its services, charges and refund rules in writing before work begins. Fees cannot be tied to guaranteed admission or visa outcomes.

Does EducationB2B take a share of our commission?

No. Standard membership charges cover membership, review, training, events or tools. Providers and recruitment organisations settle commission directly.

What happens if a student later applies directly to the provider?

Where student authority and a valid Lead Registration exist, the provider should check for duplication and assess attribution against counselling, service, application activity and the applicable agreement.

What happens if a provider does not respond or pay commission?

EducationB2B records the SLA, status, reconciliation and communication evidence and can use escalation, dispute handling and quality scoring to support resolution. EducationB2B is not a payment guarantor.

Can we bring an existing provider relationship into the network?

Yes. Existing partnerships and authority may be disclosed. If the provider joins and the authority can be verified, training, applications and commission milestones may be migrated to the platform.

Can we use Sub-agents?

Only where the provider permits it. The managing organisation must disclose every downstream organisation, counsellor, territory and responsibility and remains accountable for training, audit and misconduct.

Does an individual counsellor credential belong to the organisation?

No. The credential belongs to the individual and has a validity period and continuing-education requirements. Organisation approval does not certify every counsellor automatically.

Can we promote a programme immediately after membership approval?

No. Membership opens programmes within the authorised scope. Formal promotion requires provider authority and completion of any required training.

Must we provide historic performance evidence?

No. It is optional. An organisation may submit redacted offers, enrolment or visa evidence, commission reconciliation, agreements or client feedback where available.

What happens when a student asks to change agency?

The student's clear instruction is required. The provider and platform consider work completed by the original organisation, services required from the new organisation, any fee or misleading-practice issue and the provider's policy.

How are cross-border taxes, exchange rates and bank charges handled?

The provider should state taxes, exchange-rate rules, bank charges, payment cycles and clawback provisions in the agreement. The parties handle them directly.

What happens when programme authority changes?

The provider must update authority, markets, capacity, fees and materials promptly. An expired programme cannot continue to be promoted, and registered Leads are handled under the applicable rules.

What annual membership plans are indicated?

Agency Membership is indicated at €300–€800 per year, with a China-market test range of RMB 2,000–6,000, for a standard recruitment organisation. It includes an organisation Profile, two to three seats, relevant opportunities, limited Access Requests, training and annual review. Professional Team is indicated at €1,000–€2,500 per year, with a China-market test range of RMB 8,000–20,000, for organisations with teams, several cities or business lines. It includes more seats and request capacity, team training, priority event applications, and market and policy updates. Enterprise Network is indicated at €5,000–€15,000+ per year for education groups, regional distributors and school or counsellor networks. It includes multi-office support, central management, customised matching, team reporting and enterprise support. Actual charges depend on the service plan, contract and applicable taxes.

What one-time review and other charges may apply?

Indicative review fees are €100–€300 for a standard Recruitment Agency, €150–€400 for a new organisation or Probation route, €300–€750 for a Regional Distributor, €500–€1,500 for a Programme Operator, and €750–€2,000 for an Enterprise or multi-office organisation. Counsellor learning, programme certification and personal certificate charges follow the Academy schedule for that year. One-to-one events, regional summits and specialist meetings follow the relevant event page. Enhanced data, APIs, advanced CRM, Sub-agent tools and enterprise reporting are quoted through the relevant plan or a separate service proposal.

What fee and refund boundaries apply?

All prices are indicative or test prices; actual charges depend on the service plan, contract and applicable taxes. Application-stage charges are prepaid and are refunded in full if EducationB2B makes a final decision that the applicant does not meet membership requirements. Annual membership begins only after formal approval. EducationB2B does not handle commission, tuition or other partnership payments and does not deduct a share of recruitment-partner commission. The parties contract and settle directly, while EducationB2B may record and help reconcile agreed milestones. EducationB2B commits to review, matching, meeting, training and record activity—not provider agreements, enrolment numbers or commission income—and does not sell approval, Preferred status, quality ranking or unrestricted programme access.
