An Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) member is a skilled professional who provides counseling to help students and families choose a college that is a good personal match: one that will foster the student's academic and social growth. Independent Educational Consultants (IECs) can provide a student and family with individual attention, firsthand knowledge of hundreds of educational opportunities, and the time to explore all of the options.
IECA members are thoroughly vetted for membership, which includes a review of their education, experience, references and campus visits. IECA members are serious professionals. They must have qualifying education and experience and have worked with scores of students before being considered for membership. Each application is
reviewed by a committee of respected peers, assuring professionalism and competence.
Anyone can put up a shingle and claim to be a "college counselor". IECA members are different.
