Introducing IQ Services
We recognise in this competitive marketplace the key challenges our clients and the sector are facing today.
Using our IQ Subscription Services, we help institutions make informed, data-led decisions using the world's largest live data set.
RTF 2
In July 2021, we launched our offer in principle service, now known as FastLane, to match prospective international students to suitable universities and courses around the world at the click of a button. This ground-breaking service fast tracks students through to receiving an in-principle offer, before they are required to submit their applications, thereby ensuring that students can find the right courses and institutions faster and more easily. FastLane is available via the IDP Live app, desktop and within counsellor offices, and provides students with all the information they need to make the right higher education choices.
How FastLane works
Accessible through an app and now across IDP offices, FastLane invites students to share their study goals and current qualifications. Upon completing their academic profiles, students are matched to courses they are eligible to apply for based on the rules the institution has set. If they want to proceed, students can receive an in-principle offer from their chosen institution within 30 minutes of submission.
This transformative real-time response means students only apply to courses where they know they meet the institution entry criteria, greatly reducing the number of applications they make, whilst institutions receive higher quality applications, more quickly.
Key benefits mentioned by FastLane clients include:
Accelerating and simplifying the application process for admissions teams
FastLane ensures that only suitably qualified candidates are matched to the right courses
Diversification of their international portfolios (FastLane is live in over 100 global IDP offices across 15 countries)
Strengthening and building relationships with student counsellors in key student markets to ensure best-fit applicants are matched to the right institution and course

Our global reach
For us IDP Connect IQ has been brilliant. We’ve each become like data detectives, piecing the pieces of the puzzle together. It’s a different skillset to what we were using pre-COVID, and we’re taking targeted action from our findings in the data. With the data and competitor tools from IDP Connect IQ, we don’t need to be road warriors like we have been in the past. Now we’ve got information that we can use without going into the field. It brings better outcomes and a better quality of work/life balance.
