With collaboration with UK NARIC, this new one-day workshop is designed for non-UK institutions around the world, and is based on our successful Admissions Level 1 and Admissions Level 2 Training Days that we have been delivering in the UK since 2016.

This one-day interactive workshop gives a concentrated and thorough introduction to all the major international aspects of the admissions officer role. Workshop content and specific country information is tailored to the needs of the audience, wherever in the world it is, and the kind of institutions attending.

The workshop is practical with useful techniques, methods and checklists. However, there is also an emphasis on building a deeper understanding of education systems and the methods for the comparison of international qualifications. This equips you to knowledgably consider and evaluate a wide range of qualifications.
