How VNIS delivers master agent

Vetted sub-agent network

Overview

Why Master Agent

Vietnam sends tens of thousands of students abroad every year, and almost all of them go through an agent. Reaching them without a channel means competing on paid ads against institutions that already have counsellors recommending them by name.

As Master Agent, VNIS becomes your official representative in Vietnam. We recruit and vet sub-agents, brief them on your programmes, hold them to performance standards, and stay accountable for the pipeline — so you manage one relationship instead of thirty.

You keep control of admissions decisions and commission policy. VNIS handles execution, compliance and reporting on the ground.

What's included

Everything your master agent team handles

Vetted sub-agent network

Agencies screened for placement history, student quality and follow-up discipline — not just anyone willing to sign.

Official representation

VNIS represents your institution at fairs, school visits and agent briefings under your brand guidelines.

Agent training & materials

Counsellors are briefed on entry requirements, scholarships and what makes your institution different — in Vietnamese.

Application quality control

Files are checked before submission, cutting the incomplete applications that waste your admissions team's time.

Commission administration

One contract, one invoice, one reconciliation — instead of chasing thirty agencies.

Pipeline reporting

Enquiries, applications, offers and enrolments by agent and by intake.

How it works

Getting started in 5 steps

1

Market assessment

We map where your programmes realistically compete in Vietnam, and where they do not. If the fit is weak, we tell you before you sign.

2

Agreement & positioning

Master Agent agreement, commission structure, brand guidelines and the message counsellors will actually use.

3

Sub-agent activation

Recruit and brief agencies matched to your level and price point, in the regions that matter for you.

4

Campaign & events

Agent briefings, school visits and fairs to put your name in front of families.

5

Pipeline management

Application quality control, follow-up and reporting through to enrolment.

The situation

You have a Vietnam target but nobody in Vietnam.

Opening an office is slow and expensive. Signing thirty agents individually is unmanageable. A Master Agent gives you one accountable partner who runs the whole channel.

Frequently asked

What institutions ask about master agent

Do we lose control of admissions?

No. VNIS manages the channel and prepares applications; every admission and scholarship decision stays with your team. We work to your criteria, not around them.

How is this different from signing agents directly?

Direct agreements mean you carry the vetting, training, compliance and commission reconciliation for every agency. As Master Agent, VNIS carries that and remains accountable for the result.

Can we start smaller?

Yes. Basic Listing is free and puts you in front of Vietnamese families and agents immediately. Many institutions start there, attend one event, then decide on representation.

What does it cost?

Master Agent engagements are scoped to your target, territory and level, so pricing is quoted rather than listed. Request a quote and we will send a proposal against your actual recruitment goal.
