Student Referrals

There have recently been a few questions coming in about student referrals and what level of involvement agents will have on the AHN System, so we thought we should post the answer here for anyone who may be interested.

There are three ways that new student applications can be submitted to AHN. The first is when a Student comes to the website and fills in the application form first hand. The second is when a supervisor adds a new student or study tour from within their organisation’s AHN account. The third is when a referring agent enters new student details on a page specifically designed for agent referrals. Both the second and third methods utilise an “agent code”, which is a way for referring agents to identify themselves on the system, with a unique code assigned to each office.

Referring agents may be the supervisor themselves, an education provider, or an external agency. It is up to each supervising organisation how they structure their student referrals on AHN, and an agent can only add new students to supervisors who have previously nominated to accept that agent code. A report will be produced at the end of each month detailing the commission payable to each referring agent.

The primary responsibility of referring agents is to make sure the students they enter onto the system receive their AHN login information and know how to access their account, and that they have read and understood the student orientation prior to the start of their homestay placement in Australia.
