Robust sector training and transparent educational material for recruitment counsellors is needed now more than ever.
To help create the long-term solutions required for proper sector training, 星空影视has invested heavily in developing the 星空影视Counsellor Course (ABCC) curriculum鈥攁vailable online to anyone, for free鈥攁nd expanding the training ecosystem, which allows institutions to make their recruitment partner (RP) training easily accessible and fully trackable.

Committing to Continuous Improvement
Any strong partnership takes work to sustain. One of the principles that has allowed 星空影视to build lasting relationships with our recruitment partners is a commitment to continuous improvement.
Upskilling and standardizing professional development for everyone working in international education ultimately benefits students, ensuring they get the professional guidance needed to properly make important decisions about their own education.
Our dedicated team of International Recruitment Managers (IRMs) provides our partners with everything from multi-week training certifications to the latest government policy updates, student visa guidelines, and study opportunities. IRMs conduct weekly or monthly check-ins with every RP as part of our Account Management Process (AMP), and share a detailed business intelligence deck created on a monthly basis.
By providing regular updates and ongoing support, we can ensure our full network of recruitment partners:
- Comply with 星空影视terms and conditions
- Meet or surpass the expectations of our partners
- Have access to the latest materials and program availability updates
These professionals also complete sector training in multiple forms:
- Mandatory onboarding course (星空影视101)
- 星空影视Counsellor Courses (ABCC)
- Institution-led on-demand training via TrainHub
星空影视Counsellor Courses (ABCC)
To adapt to the always-changing landscape of international education, we鈥檝e implemented high-quality training to equip all our partners with the knowledge they need, setting them鈥攁nd all our students鈥攗p for success.
The first of these training tools is our series of regularly updated, self-paced 星空影视Counsellor Courses (ABCC), first launched in 2021.
Developed by 星空影视experts with decades of experience in the industry, these free online courses consist of comprehensive multimedia content divided into bite-sized microlearning modules. ABCCs provide RPs and prospective counsellors with up-to-date knowledge of the various destination countries, their unique features, education systems, and more.
These five courses, each focused on a different regional destination market (Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Ireland), help ensure 星空影视recruitment partners are as knowledgeable as possible when advising their students.
Over 4,000 RPs and professionals globally have completed the ABCC鈥揅anada course.
ABCC course content moves beyond the basics of an international study experience, sharing critical information about local culture, student visa processes, post-graduation work opportunities, and practical travel tips.
All five 星空影视Counsellor Courses are currently free to take; they鈥檙e also regularly updated and fully trackable to ensure transparency in evaluating course completion. Those who pass a course receive a certification demonstrating their knowledge of that specific destination market.

Application Pre-Screening
International education training is one of the first steps in ensuring application quality, but it鈥檚 not the only consideration. That鈥檚 why we get granular to ensure quality in every submitted application itself.
星空影视pre-screens all applications internally before submitting them to institutions to ensure they meet program requirements. Our sophisticated pre-screening process is powered by AI technology and supported by our efficient Customer Experience (CX) team.
