The Schools & Agents website is full of ways in which our partners, sponsors, members and associates can promote themselves within the international education industry. You could say that Schools & Agents is the ideal platform to use as a springboard if you have a service or product that you want to launch or showcase within our industry. The spotlight today is going to be on our four side banners, otherwise known as our main partners. These four companies are huge pillars within the international education industry, and if you haven't heard about them before, well now you are going to find out about who they are.

So let's get started....here they are!

IALC

IALC are one of our newest main partners that we have been pleased to welcome on board earlier on this year. IALC are using our platform to promote their schools and initiatives, but mainly to promote their upcoming workshop in Berlin which will be held from the 23rd to the 25th May, and which will once again be face-to-face. The IALC event is a very special event - apart from the usual format of face-to-face meetings between schools, agents and service providers within the field of international education, IALC is also well-known in our industry for the fantastic networking events that they organise. Needless to say, we are more than looking forward to seeing everyone in Berlin in a few weeks time. Will you be there too? 

Here's what some of those who attended IALC Workshops in the past have said about it:
