Our Commitment

Our Commitment to You

Regent Education Services Limited takes every complaint seriously. We will listen, look into what happened fairly, and reply to you in writing. Making a complaint is free, and it will never affect the advice or support you receive from us.

Who can make a complaint

Anyone who has used our service, or contacted us about it, can make a complaint. Someone else, such as a family member, can complain on your behalf if you give us your permission in writing.

What you can complain about

  • The advice or information an advisor gave you
  • How you were treated by a member of our team
  • Delays, or something we said we would do and did not
  • How we handled your personal information
  • Anything on our website or in our advertising that you think is misleading

If your complaint is about a university or college, for example an admissions decision or a problem with your course, it needs to go to that institution. We explain how further down this page, and we are happy to point you in the right direction.

Our promise Raising a concern will never count against you. We would always rather know.

Complaints about a university or college

Use the university or college's own complaints procedure first. If you are still not satisfied once it is complete, students in England and Wales can usually take their complaint to the Office of the Independent Adjudicator for Higher Education (OIA), which reviews complaints about universities free of charge.
