“ Incredibly helpful and insightful”


"The collaboration has been a great fit for Kingston as the PACE Enrolment Services team integrated seamlessly with our processes. The team conducted the pre-CAS interviews in a speedy manner which ensured we were able to efficiently proceed with issuing CAS numbers to those students who passed their interviews. The feedback from the interviews was incredibly helpful and insightful. The attentiveness of the cases dealt with and the analysis of the interviews provided."

"The Acumen team worked incredibly hard and always maintained a professional approach."


"Given that we only had a short time to get this process up and running, I thought this was a huge success for the first CAS issuance cycle. The Acumen team worked incredibly hard and always maintained a professional approach. They communicated with the York team regularly and were always willing to go the extra mile to support our process and our prospective students. Their professionalism and reputation for delivering a credible service have supported our recruitment and compliance objectives, aiming to reduce the number of potentially non-genuine students studying at the University."
