See below for the full calendar
Please note that these webinars are not suitable for students or their parents.
The webinars are free of charge. Each focuses on a specific area that is relevant to any counsellor, agent or teacher providing study abroad support.
The webinars go hand-in-hand with the training available on our agent and counsellor training and engagement hub (you do not need to be a member of the hub to register for a session, although we highly recommend registration).
These are not 'presentation-only' webinars; participants can raise a hand to join in with the conversation live, ask questions and share experiences.
Speakers will include British Council representatives, representatives from higher education bodies (UCAS, BUILA and others) and UK higher education institutions.
In addition, we'll be running a webinar in December on student visas which is open to students and parents as well (this will be a 'Teams Live' presentation format, with questions possible via the chat function).
We look forward to meeting you in the coming months!
