05 · How we’re paid
Universities pay us. We still tell you when a route won’t work.
When you enrol, the university pays LightTouch a commission. You don’t pay us for advice. If your grades, funds or dates rule a route out, we say so at the first meeting.
06 · Students
Students we’ve placed.
“My HND felt like a wall until LightTouch placed me directly into a UK Master’s. No top-up, no wasted year.”
“They told me which route would actually work and prepared me for the interview. Calm and precise.”
We publish a student’s story only with their permission.
