FAQs
Partnering with us
Does our school have to change what it already does?
No. International tracks and our counseling programs run alongside what you already offer. Nothing you do today has to stop.
Do you work with schools online or on site?
Both. Many services, including Remote Expert College & Careers Counseling and counselor training, are delivered online, with on-site visits when needed.
Which languages do you work in?
English and Portuguese.
How much does it cost?
Every partnership is scoped to the school. After a first conversation we send a written proposal with a clear fee.
Do you guarantee university admissions?
No one honestly can. We guarantee expert guidance, a clear plan and the work to get every student as far as they can go.
Counseling and training
We already have a counselor. Can you still help?
Yes. Many schools start with a department review or training for their existing team. We build on what you have.
How does Remote Expert College & Careers Counseling work day to day?
We agree a scope and calendar with school leadership, hold regular sessions with your local counselors, review their work, meet students and families when needed, and report to leadership each term. Details depend on your school’s size and needs.
Can you help us introduce the IB, AP or another international track?
Yes. We help schools plan and implement US, Canadian, UK and IB pathways alongside what they already offer, from the first feasibility conversation to staff training and family communication.
Who do you train?
Your counselors, your school leaders, and your families and students: counselor training and accreditation-style workshops, keynotes and strategy sessions, parent evenings and student workshops.
Which application systems do you know?
Every major one: the Common App and the UC Application in the United States, Canada’s provincial systems, UCAS and CAO, national portals in Europe such as Studielink and Uni-Assist, and direct applications across Asia-Pacific.
Outsourced counseling
What is the difference between the two models?
For the long run, we are your provider year after year. Until your team is ready, we lead, train your team, hand over, then support as needed.
How do we choose a level?
We start with a conversation about your students, your calendar and what your families ask for, then recommend one of the four levels, from Starter to All-inclusive, in a written proposal.
Can families add services on their own?
Yes. On Starter, Standard and Premium, families can add services such as essay coaching, test preparation or student visa support as their child needs them. All-inclusive already includes them.
Who delivers the counseling and test preparation?
Our specialist brands: Higher Ed Apply for college & careers counseling and Global Test Prep Solutions for test preparation.
Is test preparation individual?
Yes. Test preparation with Global Test Prep Solutions is designed for one student at a time.
