2025 Australian Education Providers Call Centre Rankings
Each quarter, we conduct mystery shopping calls to a cross-section of Australian Education Providers to capture real customer experience data. We assess how easily customers can connect to a live agent, how quickly calls are answered, and the quality of service received during the interaction.
All assessments are conducted as part of our Education CX Benchmarking Service, which includes over 80 individual performance criteria. Agent interactions are evaluated using the Australian Contact Centre Quality Standards – ACXPA’s nationally recognised framework for assessing call quality and soft skills.
These independent assessments provide a clear snapshot of how each education provider is performing – and where the sector can continue to lift standards.
Our Australian-based mystery shoppers are specially trained to replicate real customer enquiries, with calls made at random days and times using differing scenarios tailor-made for general education/course enquiries typically related to course curriculums, schedules, pricing, etc.
Whilst there can always be some debate around sample sizes, ratios of FTEs to the customer base, demographics, busy periods than usual, etc, that can potentially influence results, the reality is none of that is important to a customer.
Customers only care about their call and will make all their judgements and decisions based on that one single experience, and that is what our Mystery Shopping results are designed to capture and reflect.
As we need to remain anonymous, the results we publish typically reflect the experience for new student enquiries where no student ID is required.
Existing students with billing enquiries, timetable changes, campus enquiries, etc, may have a different experience as these can often be handled by different teams and/or treated with different priorities.
Which Education Providers Are Delivering on CX – and Which Are Falling Short?
Each quarter, we publicly share a glimpse of real customer experience performance in the education sector – based on direct assessments of call centre accessibility, responsiveness, and agent interactions.
