More information for Educators

More Information for Advisors


Advisors mean international student enrolments.

The educational advisors and advisors that attend ALPHE are professionals who help students to choose an overseas educational programme to suit their needs. Language schools, high schools, colleges and universities rely on ALPHE for meeting quality advisors to increase their international student enrolments.

Meet many Advisors.
There is no better, more economical way to increase your international student numbers than by meeting many excellent advisors under one roof. The advisors attending ALPHE UK are from all over the world.
   ALPHE only accepts the best advisors at its conferences - including members of recognised national advisor associations - and we obtain four references from educators for each advisor participant. You will have 30-minute meetings with advisors that you choose from the overall list of attendees.
   Professional advisors are integral to helping students find the right study pathway and ensuring students enrol at an institution with the right expectations and goals. If you would like more international students and a more diversified international student enrolment, think about ALPHE UK.

What people say.

"I really appreciate participating to the ALPHE workshops as they are always well organized by really efficient staff."
Olga Namestnikova - Magister - Russia

"Alphe UK was again a very good event - just the right size. The event was as always well organised. In particular the social networking events are very good and add to the atmosphere by keeping people together."
Stuart Boag - Education New Zealand

"The Alphe workshop's organisation in London was perfect. As an agency, the workshop was very interesting as it enabled me to meet up with several already existing partners but also to discover new schools and destinations."
Damien Augier - ESL Séjours linguisitques - Switzerland

"Very well organized and interesting conference. Good and fruitful meetings, well chosen premises and efficient pre-conference handling from Alphe's side. Congratulations!"
Jan Weidenhelm - ESL Nordic ASB, Sweeden

"Alphe UK is becoming bigger and bigger from year to year. There are good quality schools and the international diversity is superb. We can meet our partners from all over the world under one roof and establish new contacts. The conference facilities as well as all pre and after fair events are of high quality. As for the LTM Star Awards Ceremony – an „Oscar” in the field of educational market. This award will stimulate all of us to work even better since there is always a place for improvement."
Evegeni and Olga Govor - Meridian Group - Latvia

"I truly believe that the London ALPHE has become a 'no miss' weekend within the industry calendar. The Star Awards gala dinner we all thought was really tremendous and in many ways summed up our industry - competitive but friendly and fun."
Andrew Fisher - EAC - United Kingdom

"Alphe UK was brilliantly organized, we met with great new partners and I consider the trip to London a great success. If only a fifth of the meetings I had actually lead to new partnerships, we are going to be busy promoting new programmes all year. And that is simply wonderful."
Miriam Dettweiler-Wesner - Eurovacances Youth Exchange (Germany)

"Professionally speaking: reconnecting with two or the "old" advisors I hadn't seen in years, and establishing some new contacts that seem very, very promising. The overall quality of advisors seemed really excellent!" Brigitta Alkofer - Humboldt-Institut e.V. (Germany)

"I love it and I should have done it 10 years ago!"
Andre La Loux, Phone Languages (Belgium)

"We were unexpectedly impressed. Everyone's been so friendly which was great seeing as this was our first conference and we were very nervous! It's not felt competitive at all and the advisor response has been amazing."
Rosy Banwait, Derby College (UK)

"First time making a move into the European market and the conference certainly provided the avenue into this sector. I've been impressed with the calibre of advisors and am very very satisfied."
Jean-Carlo (J.C) Bonilla, Polytechnic University (USA)

"Exceeded expectations. Thoroughly impressed by the organisation and the professional attitude of the staff. Enjoyed the 30 minute slots which were ample."
Petyr Smith, Wimbledon School of English (UK)

"It has been really good. This year I made space in my appointments so that people could drop by my stand. I had a meeting with an advisors who booked 20 MBA students."
Gerry La Belle, University Canada-West

"Just a short note to thank you and the rest of the gang for another successful Alphe. I will remember this one for a long time for all the right reasons!!"
Jonathan Quinn, Centre of English Studies (Ireland)

"The workshop was really, really interesting with a lot of 'good' educators."
Saskia van der Ploeg, Tricolore, (The Netherlands)

Anyone who has been to an ALPHE will tell you it has a very special atmosphere - an environment in which people actually enjoy doing business. Our social events will also help you get to better know your new contacts.
