One year after ApplyBoard acquired industry training ecosystem TrainHub, the two international education platforms have completed their integration. This monumental change gives ApplyBoard’s entire network of recruitment partners—over 6,500 global professionals—unprecedented access to training resources from a growing number of higher education institutions.
ApplyBoard’s recruitment partners now have access to TrainHub’s growing portfolio of training materials and microlearning resources. This move is a significant milestone in our collective journey to improve knowledge and transparency within the international education sector.
Counsellors around the world will now have the opportunity to be better equipped than ever to support students in achieving their study abroad dreams. At the same time, partner institutions will be empowered to designate the training they wish to share with this global network of recruitment partners, track who has completed what, and regularly update their training.
Benefits of the TrainHub Integration
Through TrainHub, universities and colleges provide recruitment partners with accurate, detailed, and high-quality training in a scalable and trackable way.
Here’s what ApplyBoard’s network of recruitment partners can expect:
- Free access to the best possible training materials, provided directly by partner institutions, through TrainHub.
- Improved student outcomes thanks to unparalleled access to comprehensive, up-to-date training resources.
- The ability to use TrainHub as their own Learning Management System, letting them create and distribute training materials within their own teams.
And here are the benefits universities and colleges using TrainHub will receive:
- The ability to closely track and verify who, when, and how much training is being completed by recruitment partners around the world.
- Full control over which training materials can be accessed and by whom.
- Assurance that their latest approved training materials are accessible anytime to our full network of vetted recruitment partners.
- The potential to save hundreds of hours (or more) in administrative time.
This is by far the most significant step the sector has seen to scale access to training materials for recruitment professionals worldwide. This new level of transparency and access to proper training helps to ensure counsellors advise their students in the most accurate way possible.
We believe TrainHub is the only training ecosystem of this scale dedicated to supporting international education professionals—and we’re proud to say there are no other solution providers in today’s market that are taking training in the sector further than TrainHub and ApplyBoard.

Reliable, On-Demand Training
“It’s our priority to set up students for success in their study abroad journeys. That’s why we offer a free training platform for our entire network of recruitment partners to ensure the students they help are expertly guided and supported right from the start,” says ApplyBoard Co-Founder and CEO Meti Basiri. “The ApplyBoard Platform is building an ecosystem of solutions designed to improve the study abroad journey. TrainHub bridges a very important gap in the industry: the facilitation and training of recruitment partners.”
Recruitment partners using TrainHub can now access reliable, on-demand training that they know is up-to-date and approved by ApplyBoard’s partner institutions. Simultaneously, TrainHub offers higher education professionals an easy-to-use platform to share their institution’s most important learning resources.
TrainHub’s innovative platform is currently used by 150+ higher education institutions from around the world. Jimmy Battaglia, Head of TrainHub, is dedicated to improving access to training and materials to ensure recruitment partners are expertly positioned to support their students.
“One of the reasons I joined forces with ApplyBoard a year ago is because we are both driven and focused on enabling student success,” says Battaglia. “As a former international student, I know firsthand how much of an impact a counsellor’s advice and guidance can have on a student’s academic path. This is what has driven TrainHub’s vision to provide institutions and recruitment partners with the best learning hub possible.”
Founded eight years ago, ApplyBoard was created to democratize access to education for students worldwide. TrainHub’s integration with ApplyBoard is one of the many ways that ApplyBoard is transforming the international education industry and its processes.
