Apply to become an international representative agent

Referral agents who provide advice and assistance to students wishing to study at EKA University must apply to be a Registered International Representative Agent.

If you decide to apply to become a EKA University agent, you should:

• provide detailed information about your company
• provide the contact details for two references
• provide proof of education agent training or qualifications
• provide proof of business registration from your country
• provide proof of any academic qualifications or professional recognition

The following criteria are used when considering a new international representative agent for appointment:

• We prefer agents who specialise in sending students to overseas universities. We review the prospective agent’s current volume of university placements and registrations, as this indicates a strong track record in successful counselling.
• We look for agents who represent European and Latvian universities and have a strong track record with these universities; we measure this by requesting at least 2 references from existing partners.
•  Agents must hold appropriate business licenses and conduct themselves with due regard to the regulatory conditions in the market(s) in which they operate.
•  We select agencies with professional counselling facilities that are appropriate for hosting interview sessions, displaying materials and are well located for students and their parents.
• We will usually limit the number of agents in a country proportionate to the size of the student market and geographic size of the country.

If your application is approved, we will:

• send you the International Representative Agent Agreement for your signature, and
• request the signed Agreement to be returned for processing

We reserve a right to contact only those agencies which are approved to be an Authorizes Agent.
