Guide · Choosing a course
"Immigration consultant course": what is inside.
The job these courses are sold for is study abroad agent. Here is what they usually teach and what they leave out. We also give you six questions to judge any course by, and that includes ours.
Research, October 2026
What such courses usually contain.
We read the public pages of Indian courses sold under this name and names close to it. We are not naming anyone here. We only want to show you the pattern.
Class hours
Most run for roughly 18 to 60 hours. We did not find one course with more than about 48 live hours.
18 to 60hoursContent
You get country knowledge, document lists, application portals and a little CRM. Most of it is taught from the front. Very little is practised.
Pitch
The usual pitch is "start your own consultancy". Almost nobody sells the path to a job as an employed agent.
Fee bands
Self-paced courses cost ₹999 to ₹10,000. Live or branded ones cost ₹20,000 to ₹55,000. "Practical" courses in Delhi cost ₹17,700 to ₹70,800.

Six questions to judge any course by.
Ask these of our course too. You will find our answer under each question.
- How many hours, and how many a week? A fee tells you nothing until you know the hours.
Here you get 320 hours over 16 weeks, Monday to Friday, 4 hours a day - What share is practice? Nobody becomes an agent by listening to lectures.
Here about half of the 320 hours is hands-on, with role-play in class every day and then a full month on the live office floor - Who teaches? Someone who does not sit with students today cannot teach you how it is done now.
Here a lead trainer with 3 to 5 years of guiding students (name to be announced), plus one masterclass a week by Vinay Hari - What is the certificate, and what is it not? Read the written statement and ignore the adjectives.
Here it is the school's own Certificate of Completion, with a grade. Full statement - Are the fee and the refund published? A course that hides its fee will hide its refund too.
Here the fee is ₹40,000 (including 18% GST), which is ₹125 an hour. Refund table - Any promises? No course can promise you a job or a visa. If one does, treat it as a warning.
Here we make no promises, and we publish every batch's numbers with the full count

Three things absent from almost every course
- Practice. This work is a conversation. You learn to handle a parent's fear or a student's silence in role-play, and then from feedback on your recording. You do not learn it from slides.
- A live floor. That means real leads and real families, with a senior beside you. A course that runs outside an office leaves your first real meeting to your first employer.
- An employer. No course says it will hire some graduates of each batch itself and then publish every batch's real numbers.
There is a fourth gap that is harder to see, and it matters most. It is the limit of scope. You need to know which question is information, which is advice, and when to hand a case to a licensed professional. We explain that line in this guide.
How this school fills the three gaps
- Practice. There are 90 minutes of role-play on every class day, in groups of three, where one person plays the agent, one the student or parent, and one observes. You record one role-play a week and it is scored on a fixed rubric. Test 1 is in week 4 and Test 2 is in week 8.
- Live floor. You spend weeks 13 to 16 inside Angels Immigration's office. In week 13 you shadow seniors and take notes on 20 meetings. In weeks 14 and 15 you practise on WhatsApp and with walk-ins under supervision. Week 16 is the final. Client data stays in the office.
- Employer. Angels selects some graduates of each batch. The others get placement assistance and interview opportunities. There is no guarantee.
Did you know
A 20-hour course at ₹40,000 is ₹2,000 an hour.
Comparing fees means nothing until you ask about hours and practice. Here you get 320 hours, which works out to ₹125 an hour.
The rules
Three things we say plainly.
- The certificateSchool of Immigration is a private training school. The certificate is the school's own Certificate of Completion. It is not a diploma, a degree, a travel agent licence or a licence to give immigration advice. It is not a government-recognised qualification in any country either. Full statement.
- Training, not a visa serviceThis school is not a visa service for the people who study here. We do not offer any visa, admission or "go abroad" service. We only train you to become a study abroad agent.
- No phone callsWe do not make or take phone calls. Once your application is complete, you can ask your questions on WhatsApp at +91 85910 18586.
