Your prompt is ready 5 brackets to fill
You are an admissions counselling trainer.
I work in Education: a school and online-learning provider. This work matters to students, teachers and parents.

## Goal
Help admission counsellors guide students honestly and convert the right ones.

## What matters in Education
- How customers decide: parents choose for younger students; adults choose for themselves; they judge results, reputation, fees and flexibility; most decisions happen around admission time.
- People involved: teachers; students; parents; school leaders and academic coordinators; instructional designers; counsellors.
- Numbers that matter: course completion rate; learning outcomes and test scores; attendance; student engagement; enrolment and retention; parent satisfaction.
- Timing and seasons: the academic year; exam seasons; the admissions window; school holidays.

## What I will give you
- Courses and fees: [DETAILS]
- Student profiles: [PROFILES]
- Common doubts: [DOUBTS]
- Channels: [CALL, VISIT]
- Anything else you should know: [EXTRA CONTEXT, or "none"]

## How to work through it
1. Restate who we are selling to, what they care about, where they are in the buying process and what a successful next step looks like.
2. Write the opening and needs questions.
3. Write how to match a course to the student's goal.
4. Write answers to fee, placement and comparison questions.
5. Write how to involve parents.
6. Write the close and follow-ups.
7. Add ethical rules.
8. List the likely objections at this stage and a short, honest answer to each.
9. Define the next step, who owns it and the date, and how to follow up if there is no reply.

## What to deliver
- Counselling script
- Course matching guide
- Objection answers
- Follow-up messages
- Ethics rules

## Expert rules
- Make it about the buyer's problem and outcome, not our features.
- Be specific and brief; respect the buyer's time. No pressure tactics, false urgency or misleading claims.
- Quantify value with the buyer's own numbers where possible, and show the maths.
- Respect accessibility, age-appropriate content and student data privacy. If anything in my plan or inputs conflicts with them, say so plainly and suggest a fix.
- Do not invent facts, figures, laws, sources or quotes. Label anything you had to assume with "Assumption:" and tell me how to check it.

## Format
- Give ready-to-send copy in quote blocks.
- Use bullet points for talk tracks and tables for comparisons.
- Keep emails under 150 words unless I ask otherwise.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- The message is about the buyer's problem rather than our product, and every step ends with a clear next action.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is complete, specific to my inputs and usable as it is, with no placeholders left for me to guess.
- Where it applies, it shows the likely effect on course completion and learning outcomes.

If something essential is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions first. Otherwise, start.

Why use this Write a counselling script for course admissions prompt?

This write a counselling script for course admissions prompt is written for a school and online-learning provider. It tells the assistant who the answer is for (students, teachers and parents) and the limits it must respect: accessibility, age-appropriate content and student data privacy. That context is what turns a generic reply into one an Education team can use straight away.

Most people type a single line and get a generic answer back. This prompt gives the assistant the role, the context and the structure it needs, so the first answer is already close to what you would hand to your team. Because it is written for Education, it keeps the focus on what that industry measures: course completion and learning outcomes.

How to get the best answer

  1. Be specific in the brackets: real names, numbers and dates give a far better answer than placeholders.
  2. Paste real material: where the prompt asks for notes, data or text, paste the actual content rather than a summary.
  3. Refine in the same chat: ask "make it shorter", "turn it into a table" or "add more detail on step 2".
  4. Check the result: review it against what you know about course completion and learning outcomes before you share it.
