QEAC

Qualified Education Agent Counsellor

QEAC is the Australian Government-endorsed certification for education agents. Administered by PIER Education, it requires counsellors to pass examinations demonstrating mastery of student visa regulations, the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), and professional ethical obligations.

Study Inspire holds two QEAC registrations — #13733 and #13798 — ensuring that multiple counsellors across our network are independently certified under Australian standards. This is not a company-level registration; each certification is held by an individual counsellor who has personally passed the PIER examinations.

About QEAC

Why QEAC Matters

Understanding the value of PIER certification for your study abroad journey.

Examination Required

QEAC certification is not purchased — it is earned. Counsellors must pass PIER examinations covering Australian education, visa regulations, and ethics.

Ongoing Compliance

Certification requires maintaining currency with Australian education and visa regulation changes. Counsellors must stay informed and recertify as required.

Revocable

QEAC registration can be revoked for misconduct or non-compliance. This creates a powerful accountability mechanism that protects students.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

No. QEAC covers education agent counselling under the Australian education system and student visa framework. It is distinct from registered migration agent (RMA) authorisation. For general migration advice we refer students to a registered migration agent where required.

Each number represents an individual counsellor who has passed PIER examinations. Holding two certifications ensures redundancy and demonstrates our commitment to having multiple certified professionals available to serve our students.
