I do not know anything about that school and what programs they offer. I can only tell you about Concorde and what we have to offer.
I always say I'm not fimilar with other schools, but I do know concorde and I can give you all the information about our school.
I concur. According to Colorado law..."A school or its agents and representatives shall not make or perpetuate any false or deceptive statements in regard to any other postsecondary school or college, whether public or private, nor shall a school or agent recruit students who are currently enrolled in another school."
Always indicate the truth.
Our Admissions Reps always keeps the focus on our school. If I am ever asked I just let the student know that since I work for this school that is the school I have information on.
Re-focus on all the advantages of the institution and the particular program. I agree, if they persist, to state that you are unfamiliar with other programs.
We are competitive in the market
"It would not be fair for me to express my opinion about another school; I encourage you to research (school name) so you are confident that you are making the best decision for yourself."
I would say to the student, "I really can't answer that question for you because I do not know what that school has to offer. However, it is important for you to investigate both schools so that whatever choice you make, is the best choice for you."
I would state that that I can only speak about what I know and I know Concorde. Concorde has been around along time and has history in this community. Also, I am a graduate of Concorde and I have been very successful in my field.
I think my answer compares to everyone elses answer in the you should not compare something you are not familiar with. Why would an employee be familiar with another instutions credintials. Speaking highly of the place where you work is always an uplifting thing for students who are obviously unsure of things. Reassure them that they made the right choice by coming here to get their education.
I would tell the student that I am not familiar with programs at other schools and that I could only tell them what our school has to offer.
A good way to respond is to state that we are not familiar with other institutions programs, policies, etc., but we can provide answers to any questions they may have about our institution.
A Rep should simply state that they are not familiar with the programs offered at other institutions. They are tasked with providing detailed information about Concorde.
Take the opportunity at that time to talk about your programs and information. It is up to the student to do the research and make the right decisions.
I have been asked this question as well, and responded in the same manner. I am not sure about what other schools have to offer or I am not able to compare our schools to other school. But I can tell you abour our school and what we can provide as an education.
A good way to respond is to encourage the student to do their own research on other institutions ,which will allow them to make a more informed and educated decision based on his/her own research without any bias. I think doing this lends more credibility to the institution.
My understanding is you don't talk about other schools, but simply describe what your school may offer.
The best course of action is to talk about what we know, which is our institution. I don't know about other schools or how their students perform.
Not suprisingly this is a frequent question for our program.
We state that all programs for our occupation must have the same accreditation from our occupational accrediting agency and we give them the website to the accrediting agency to research for themselves regarding the accreditation status of all the programs. We then discuss since all the programs must meet the same criteria; then the student then needs to do independent research to find the best fit for them from the accredited programs. We assure them we are here to help them succeed and after some independent research hopefully are program will be the one that best fits them.
