Researching courses, qualifications and eligibility requirements can be a daunting task. Some people may be considering tertiary study for the first time; others may be returning after a long hiatus from formal study or face challenges that can impact their study options.<\/p>\n<p>OES Course Consultants guide prospective students through enquiry, application and, finally, enrolment. As with everything OES does on behalf of university partners, their role is to improve the student experience.<\/p>\n<p>Senior Course Consultant Laura is dedicated to a single university partner, supporting students interested in its course portfolio. With four years of experience at OES, she also plays a vital team leadership role.<\/p>\n\n                  <\/div>\n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <\/section>\n\n\n<section  class=\"block complex-copy \"\n   style=\"background-color:\">\n  <div class=\"container width-normal\" style=\"color:\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n\n              <div class=\"col-12\">\n                      <h2>Listen, learn, share knowledge and support<\/h2>\n                    <p>OES Course Consultants manage enquiries and applications, assess student eligibility and provide enrolment support. Every new student receives a follow up call after they enrol, making sure they are prepared and ready to commence.<\/p>\n<p>It is a telephone-based sales role that is responsible for efficiently managing all leads from initial enquiry through to enrolment.<\/p>\n<p>Laura takes a \u2018listen and learn\u2019 approach. \u201cI ask a lot of questions, to learn more about each student and understand their goals. This helps me to help them,\u201d she explains. \u201cThe most important skills are knowledge, time management, patience and communication.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This role is ideal for motivated and highly organised people who enjoy helping others, Laura says. \u201cPersonally, I have worked hard on improving my articulation, making sure I can explain things clearly over the phone and by email to all prospective students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n                  <\/div>\n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <\/section>\n\n\n<section  class=\"block complex-copy \"\n   style=\"background-color:\">\n  <div class=\"container width-normal\" style=\"color:\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n\n              <div class=\"col-12\">\n                      <h2>Senior responsibilities<\/h2>\n                    <p>Laura\u2019s passion for student support led to her promotion to Senior Course Consultant. While continuing to consult with prospective students, she now also supports her Team Leader on key projects and tasks, assists with onboarding new courses and staff members, and runs refresher training for her colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>She particularly enjoys her liaison role with university stakeholders, making sure key information is effectively communicated with her colleagues and built into OES consulting templates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI regularly update my team, so we can provide the best student experience,\u201d Laura explains.<\/p>\n\n                  <\/div>\n      \n      \n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <\/section>\n\n\n<section  class=\"block complex-copy \"\n   style=\"background-color:\">\n  <div class=\"container width-normal\" style=\"color:\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n\n              <div class=\"col-12\">\n                      <h2>Cheerleading success<\/h2>\n                    <p>OES Course Consultants have a team culture of celebrating success. Just like they support students, they support each other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re a bubbly bunch and love a good laugh! We also love to rally together and cheerlead each other&#8217;s successes,\u201d Laura says.<\/p>\n<p>With a dedicated \u2018Countdown\u2019 chat group, the team works toward its enrolment target each week. Laura runs the \u2018R&amp;R program\u2019 across all consultant teams, with monthly prizes that \u2018Recognise\u2019 and \u2018Reward\u2019 performance and team players.<\/p>\n<h6><a
