The Value of an Educational Consultant
The process of choosing a high school, college, or graduate/professional program is certainly a daunting one. There are so many from which to choose and competition for spots at many schools and colleges is at a premium. Families without knowledge of the industry, the application process, and other related contexts are at a disadvantage.
Independent educational consultants work one- on-one with your child and your family. They match their skills to to your needs (as opposed to the institution that employs them). Please click on the article entitled The Value of an Educational Consultant and Why Hire An IECA to learn more regarding the Independent Educational Consultant Association (IECA). Another 2013 article Independent Educational Consulting: Expert Guidance on the Rise provides additional insight into selecting IEC's and the type of certifications which are available in the industry.
