Map your agent management operations against your UK Agent Quality Framework Pledge commitments
With the Agent Quality Framework (AQF) Pledge now forming part of UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) sponsor requirements, institutions need to demonstrate their excellence in education agent management practice. We can help you make sure your operations align with the Pledge, and are audit-ready and built to last.
As the lead consultancy on the development of the AQF and its assets, Edified is uniquely positioned to evaluate your operations against your AQF Pledge commitments.
Our AQF Appraisal and Success Plan begins with an in-depth look at your documents, processes, systems and capabilities, and then we map these against global best practice, using our proprietary audit framework.
We use a traffic-light system to show your status against each component of the Pledge. This isn’t just ticking boxes – we spotlight what’s working, what needs tightening, and where the risks and opportunities lie.
Drawing on our findings and an assessment of your in-house capabilities, we provide a detailed roadmap of recommendations on how to move from your current state towards AQF Pledge best practice.
Once you are demonstrably compliant with your AQF Pledge obligations, we provide you with a certificate of compliance. We can also guide and support you in implementing recommendations.
