Study Group Launches Partners – Our New Agent Website
June 2009
Leading international education provider, Study Group, this month launches Partners, an online resource for education agents across the world. The new site enables over 3,000 specialist education agents to provide prospective international students with real-time information on studying in their country of choice.
Partners will also offer agents a faster, more efficient online enrolment process and the ability to check the status of their applications. They will also benefit from easier access to information on sales and promotional activities.
The site is available exclusively to approved Study Group representatives. Thomas Mueller at TREFF Sprachreisen in Germany commented:
“We’re looking forward to having this resource at our fingertips. When students approach us they are excited about the prospect of studying abroad and it is fantastic to be able to offer them up-to-the-minute information about which courses have availability, and in which locations.”
The Partners site was developed in-house by Study Group and is being piloted this week. It is expected to go live on 29 June.
Michael Mangan, Study Group’s CIO comments:
“Partners is a significant investment by Study Group in a dedicated Agent website providing course and accommodation availability, Student enrolment with immediate confirmation and offer documentation, all online.”
In an increasingly competitive and costly global environment, collaborative engagement – the pooling of powerfully complementary resources – provides the key to sustainable growth and security. Study Group is investing heavily in this future, developing a market-leading network of alliances with internationally focused universities across the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
