Optional check

Is the school on its government’s register?

Some governments publish a list of the institutions licensed to enrol international students. Where we are allowed to, we keep every edition and you can search it here by name.

Searchable here: Australia, Japan (Japanese-language education institutions only) and United Kingdom. Canada publishes a list we may not republish name by name, so we link to it instead. Most countries publish no such list at all, which says nothing about the institutions there.
