Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about who we are, what we do, and how we have been helping students since 2015.

AEC Consultant was founded in 2015 by education professionals who recognised that too many people, particularly from underrepresented communities in East London, were missing out on university because they did not know where to start or could not afford the application process. That founding mission has not changed.

Since 2015, AEC Consultant has guided over 5,000 students into UK universities. Our students have graduated from programmes in business, health and social care, construction management, computing, psychology, and many other subject areas across the UK.

AEC Consultant works with over 40 UK universities and colleges as official education partners. This includes institutions across London, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, and Bradford. Because we are funded by partner universities, our entire service for students is provided at no cost.

AEC Consultant has a particular focus on supporting first-generation university applicants, mature students returning to education, students from underrepresented communities, and those who may have left school without qualifications but have relevant work experience. We firmly believe that financial or academic background should never be a barrier to accessing higher education.

Three things set us apart consistently. First, our service is 100% free for students because we are funded by partner universities. Second, we provide a genuinely personal service with one dedicated advisor throughout your entire journey, from first call to enrolment day. Third, our 98.4% success rate and 48-hour offer turnaround are among the strongest in the sector.

AEC Consultant holds British Council Certified UK agent status, which is one of the most recognised professional credentials in the UK education sector. We have also been trusted by over 5,000 students since 2015, which reflects a track record built on results rather than marketing claims.

No. AEC Consultant also supports students who want to study abroad. We provide admissions guidance for universities in Canada, Australia, the United States, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and many other destinations. For UK university admissions, however, our service is most comprehensive because of our direct partnerships with 40 or more UK institutions.
