What does a study consultant in Malaysia do?
A study consultant (education agent) helps you choose the university or English centre that fits your certificate and budget, prepares and submits your application, follows up the offer letter, then the student visa through EMGS, and finally your arrival and housing in Malaysia.
Many Malaysian universities work with approved agents, so a good consultant does not push you towards one university; it compares several options with real prices and written requirements.
8 questions to ask before choosing a consultant
1) Does the consultant have a registered company and a real office in Malaysia you can visit? 2) Does it have a branch or representative in your country? 3) Does it have real Google Maps reviews you can read? 4) Does it give you all prices and fees in writing before you pay?
5) Does it show you more than one university or centre to compare? 6) Does it handle the visa, arrival and housing, or stop at the offer letter? 7) Does it offer easy payment such as instalments? 8) Does its team speak Arabic and answer you quickly on WhatsApp?

How to check a consultant yourself
Search the consultant on Google Maps, read old and new reviews, and make sure the address is a real office, not a virtual one. Ask for the official company name: companies in Malaysia are registered with the Companies Commission of Malaysia (SSM).
Never pay university fees into a personal account, and make sure your offer letter comes officially from the university. A promise of guaranteed admission or a guaranteed visa before anyone has seen your documents is a warning sign.
