Strengthening Education Operations Behind the Scenes

Our trained education support agents manage enquiries from parents, learners and prospective families across digital and voice channels. Working within your systems and agreed workflows, agents capture accurate information, resolve routine queries at first contact where possible, and provide guidance on admissions, timetables, portal access and exam-related enquiries. Where further action is required, cases are escalated promptly to the appropriate academic, admissions or finance teams in line with defined processes.

All enquiries are logged within your CRM or case management platform, with structured reporting to support performance monitoring and oversight. This provides clear visibility of contact volumes, enquiry categories, response times and escalation activity, ensuring accountability while helping education providers manage demand efficiently under increasing cost pressures.

What types of education providers do you support?
We work with online schools, independent schools, multi-academy trusts and specialist education providers. Our model is particularly well suited to organisations managing high volumes of parent, learner and admissions enquiries.
What kinds of enquiries can you handle?
We manage admissions and enrolment queries, onboarding support, timetable enquiries, exam-related questions, portal access issues, payment queries and general parent or learner enquiries. Cases are resolved at first contact where possible and escalated in line with agreed processes when required.
Can you scale support during enrolment and exam periods?
Yes. Our flexible resourcing model allows us to increase capacity during predictable academic peaks such as enrolment windows, start-of-term onboarding and exam results periods, without you needing to increase permanent headcount.
How do you ensure data security and compliance?
We operate ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 UKAS-certified processes, with structured workflows and controlled system access to ensure student and parent data is handled securely. Where payment enquiries are supported, we follow PCI-DSS compliant procedures to protect cardholder information and maintain secure transaction handling.
How does outsourcing reduce costs for education providers?
Outsourcing allows you to flex support in line with demand, avoiding the fixed costs of recruitment, training and employment overheads. This helps maintain service standards while protecting budgets during periods of financial pressure.
