Prior to and following the ANZA Workshop, peak industry bodies from Australia and New Zealand provide participating agents the opportunity to attend a variety of familiarisation tours.
Agents actively demonstrate a preference for sending students to those institutions and regions they have visited on FAM tours. There is no better way to introduce agents to your institution and region; it's a time proven method for building and cementing productive agent/educator partnerships.
"We send a very small percentage of students to those partner schools we haven't visited. We usually only send them students when that client specifically asks to go there. It is our way of being faithful to those partner schools that have invested time and resources in our company (via fam trips etc)."
Rob Woodward, MD of New Zealand Global / Global Culture
"I visited the University of Tasmania and other institutions as part of an agent FAM tour to Tasmania following The ANZA Workshop. Prior to this visit I knew very little about Tasmania, and had not considered or promoted it as a major study destination to my clients. Since my visit I have signed an agreement with the University of Tasmania and successfully enrolled 6 students."
Ahmed Naraghi, Managing Director, Iran-Australia Cultural & Arts Institution
Note: Only institutions that participate in The Australia New Zealand Agent Workshop are invited to host agent visits.
