TRAINING colleges are using unlicensed agents overseas to recruit students to study in Australia.

The Age believes the agents charge students or their parents thousands of dollars to enrol them in Australian institutions. The agents promise abundant jobs, easily available accommodation and a fast track to permanent residency.
