About ICEF Academy The seeds of ICEF Academy were planted in 2010, with the ICEF Agent Training Course.

Since then, ICEF’s training portfolio has continued to grow with the needs of the industry. In 2022, ICEF acquired Australia’s largest agent training platform, PIER, and its suite of resources and tools, including the Education Agent Training Course (EATC) and PIER Apps.

At ICEF Academy, our goal is to support international education professionals, help them learn more about the business of student recruitment and collectively raise standards across the sector. Our resources, courses and industry-recognised certifications are designed to set you up for success.
