UK Agent Quality Framework (AQF)

From 7th April 2026, as part of our sponsor responsibilities, the University of Plymouth must be able to demonstrate commitment to the key principles of the AQF.

• Empowering student choice and enabling informed decision making.

• Ensuring good agent governance and professionalism.

• Promoting ethical agent practices, professional knowledge and competency.

• Increased transparency and accountability.

Please note that it has now been confirmed that it will become mandatory from 7th April 2026 under our HEI sponsorship duties, where the sponsor is aware an agent has been used in student recruitment, to add the below information on the applicants CAS.

The data collected by the Home Office, will be an important part of understanding how agents are used.

The information will support the analysis and identification of trends, where there may be an association with repeated adverse outcomes (for example, the use of fraudulent documents).

This may be used to support the detection and prevention of crime, and the Home Office are also considering how they may be able to share high-level trend data and/or areas of concern with the education sector.

Education agents and counsellors play a critical role in marketing UK education and supporting international students on their journey to the UK. Following the UK Agent Quality Framework ensures that all agents work to the same excellent standard to give students an outstanding experience.
