The British Council would like to commission a UK higher education institution or organisation to develop a new online platform to deliver the British Council agents and counsellors training programmes.

The British Council Education Agent & Counsellor Training Suite is a comprehensive suite of training courses for international student recruitment agencies and counsellors whose role is to recommend the UK as a study destination to international students. The Suite will allow certification by British Council over five levels of study and it is designed to increase agency and counsellor capacity to promote the UK as an appealing study destination. It is also designed to promote and reward ethical and professional behaviour and to improve the quality of agents and education advisor by providing a British Council professional development route.

The purpose of this project is development of a refreshed online training suite hosted by the British Council, including the developing of training content and assessments and a replacement for the Global Agent List.
The training suite to be developed is to be fully hosted online, so that learners situated in any location with internet access can access courses at any time.
