How to structure your offers (test prep, applications, coaching, visa), set pricing, create bundles and increase revenue per student without losing trust.
To scale, an agency must clarify offers and pricing. The goal is not to "charge more", but to make value visible and build coherent packages. This guide proposes bundles, transparency rules and an additional revenue model (tests + documents) compatible with family trust.
Education agency pricing should build trust first: be transparent about what's included, offer tiered packages for different student needs, and never hide fees.

A three-tier package model works well: Basic (application support only, $500-$1,000), Standard (application + test prep + visa support, $1,500-$3,000), and Premium (full-service with coaching, $3,000-$5,000+).
| Package | Best for | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1 destination, simple | Diagnosis + checklist + follow-up |
| Growth | Multiple applications | Tests + documents + follow-ups |
| Premium | Competitive programs | Premium + interviews + QA |
Additional monetization: test prep (IELTS/TOEFL/GRE/GMAT) + documents (CV/CL) + interviews.
Clear pricing makes your agency more scalable and reduces disputes. The best strategy is often hybrid: commissions + high-value optional services.
To enable test/document monetization: Technology for agents.
Analyze local market pricing, create bundles (test + application + coaching), offer premium options and align pricing with perceived value.
