The Value of College Consultants

  By , , , , , , , , ,
“ROI” is mentioned in college information sessions quite a bit these days, but what about when considering a college consultant? How do you know what to expect for your money, what potential savings can a consultant help you realize, is your investment “worth it?” Families choose to work with a college consultant for many reasons, and each student’s process is unique. It’s important for families to define their expectations and understand how a consultant might help them as a first step. Take a few moments to watch this video produced by IECA, an international organization of professional consultants. It provides insight to potential benefits so you can begin the college planning process with confidence. If you’re interested in learning more, contact ARC Education Planning. Let’s get started!
