There are different factors that help schools position themselves ahead of the rest. Let's have a closer look!
What factors put us ahead of our competitors?
Some of Spain's business schools are among the highest ranked in Europe. Every year, thousands choose it as the destination for continuing their studies and advancing their professional careers. And new technologies, which have had an impact on all business sectors, mean studying in person is no longer the only option. Now, offering online programmes has become an added value, with such courses offering several advantages for students: flexible timetables, the lack of need for travel, and a choice of languages to study in.
Attracting more students by translating education resources
Individual schools have different ways of showing their courses and training programmes. However, when it comes to opting for one course over another, the following factors will help browsers decide:
- Websites: if you want to reach a wider audience, and ensure everybody can access your educational programmes, it's essential that you translate your website into several languages. It makes it easier for students to access all the documents they need when they're searching for information of interest to them.
- Syllabus: many websites display their content by using a landing page. Others give the option to download information when a potential customer fills in their details. This is one of the key points that users will consider when selecting a school.
- Brochures: informative brochures are also very important, especially when looking for a business school. Whilst many students pay for courses themselves, many will also still be financially dependent. In these cases, where family members may want to access information on a school, it's always advisable to have the information available in their first language.
- Webinars: These videos are recorded and edited with subtitles in several languages, meaning everybody has access to the classes taught.
- Terms and legal issues: once someone has all the information they need to make a decision, the agreement needs to be formalised. Registration documents need to be signed, and sums confirmed - which all needs to be outlined in a contract. In addition, the contract also needs to include legal information which users need to read and understand before signing. People from other countries will have a better understanding of their rights and obligations if the content has been translated into their respective language.
