Установлен приоритет члентства агентства в FELCA перед другими объединениями и ассоциациями для работы с американскими учебными заведениями
Национальная Ассоциация по консультированию для поступления в колледжи (NACAC), США выпустила руководство для образовательных учреждений, которые являются членами этой организации, как работать с агентами, занимающимися рекрутингом международных студентов.
Данный документ является основополагающим для учреждений, которые рассматривают привлечение агентов для рекрутинга международных студентов. В прошлом году NACAC изменил свои основолагающие принципы и разрешил своим членам пользоваться услугами агентов на комиссионной основе (ранее это было запрещено наравне с оплатой рекрутинга американских студентов). NACAC рекомендует учебным заведениям, публиковать на своих сайтах положения об агентах, включая ссылку на то, как агенты получают вознаграждение за свою работу и любые экклюзивные условия. Учебные заведения должны сообщать своим студентам и их родителям, какие услуги оказывают агентства.
NACAC рекомендует, чтобы учебные заведения составляли свои контракты, а не использовали агентские, а также включили в него все необходимые положения , том числе условия расторжения контракта, срок действия контракта, объем услуг, оказываемых агентством и запрет на суб-подряд. Что касается вопросов оплаты, документ предлагает запретить агентам осуществлять оплату учебному заведению от имени студента. Положения также предостерегают от двойной оплаты, когда агентства, в свою очередь, выставляют плату студентам. NACAC рекомендует, чтобы учебные заведения- члены NACAC - запретели рекрутинговым агентствам взимать плату со студентов зя рекламу и помощь в подаче заявки, что должно стать одним из условий контракта.
NACAC советует, чтобы учебные заведения просили рекомендации у агентств, проверяли эти рекомендации и встречались с агентствами лично. Согласно положениям, национальные ассоциации , такие как Бразильская ассоциация BELTA, JAOS в Японии, Российская AREA (АРКО) в своей работе должны следовать стандартам , профессиональной практике в основе котороой лежит кодекс FELCA. Также рекомендовано проводить семинары для агентов в рамках ALPHE, ICEF, где предоствляется возможность встречи с агентствами.
NACAC рекомендует учебным заведениям проводить регулярные тренинги агентов, постоянно обновлять информацию для них в виде справочников и брошюр, а также отслеживать взаиомоотношения с агентствами, включая опрос студентов, отслеживание показателей по рекрутингу и количеству выпускников.Данный документ также отмечает, почему рекрутинг через агентства был окружен таким противоречием в США: риски, включая обман, судебные иски и материальный ущерб для студентов, а также вопросы оправданности оплаты комиссионных за каждого отдельного студента. По сведениям NACAC, на сегодняшний день около четверти учебных заведений США прибегают к услугам агентств, что значительно отстает от показателей Великобритании и Австралии.
NACAC также отмечает, что в зависимости от программы , использование агентств может быть весьма оправдано, как, например, при изучении английского. NACAC рекомендует своим членам разработать условия и положения сотрудничества с агентствам , а также назначить контактактное лицо, которое отвечает за связь с агентством.
