Sept. 23, 2014 - PRLog -- To ensure regular participants continue to meet new partners, this year saw a strong emphasis on screening and approving agents relevant to the needs of registered institutions. Of the 136 agents at the event, over 50% were attending their first ever ICEF Higher Education Workshop.  Samrat Ray Chaudhuri of Webster University Thailand said: “Over the years the quality of the ICEF Higher Education Workshop has continually increased. I am also impressed to see that ICEF took into account our recommendations in selecting agents for the 2014 event”.

In total, 289 participants attended the workshop. This included representatives from 89 accredited higher education institutions - an increase on 2013, and 14 exhibitors from 26 countries. In addition to this, the event welcomed institutions from Azerbaijan, China and the Czech Republic for the first time. Nepalese agent, Sanjeev Pandey from US Edu Consult said: “I had the opportunity to meet with at least 20 exhibitors and educators. This event has been much more fruitful than the sum of all the years we have spent emailing institutions abroad for collaboration”.

Agents at the workshop represented 116 agencies from 47 countries around the world. During the event 3 of these agents qualified as ICEF Trained Agent Counsellors (ITACs) and 1 as a Canada Course Graduate (CCG). The new IATCs are: Pavel Joukovski from Delius-Terra ALC (Belarus), Tatiana Piuta from Interstudy Center – Ekaterinburg (Russia), and Julia Sumatokhina from Educational World – Moscow (Russia). Anindya Chowdhury from Mentors – Dhaka (Bangladesh) also qualified as a CCG. To contact these agents and any other qualified counsellor, visit www.icef.com/agent-training

Year-on-year participants declare the ICEF Higher Education Workshop the best ever. Both agents and educators were extremely happy with the event format and the opportunity to establish meaningful partnerships and business connections. Tereza Novotna of Charles University - Univerzita Karlova in the Czech Republic commented:  “The organization of the event was excellent, the staff very friendly and the seminars were very interesting. The quality of agents was exceptionally high. I have a great feeling about our meetings and believe that foundations for future partnerships have been laid. I would definitely like to come to the next ICEF HE Workshop!”

In addition, social events gave participants the opportunity to connect outside of the workshop hall. The evening reception was held at the stunning Žofín Palace. At the reception guests enjoyed music played by a cello quartet whilst dining in the magical palace setting.
