Share AFA with someone you know
8% bonus / 5% student cashback
You already know who to send
You already know someone who is putting this off.
The friend who has been about to start IELTS since last year. The cousin who keeps asking which exam Canada wants. The colleague who has the score sheet on their phone and no plan behind it.
Send them here. If they enrol, you get paid a share of what they pay.
Who gets what
If you are not an AFA student
You earn 8% of your friend's course fee, paid to you in cash or by UPI once they enrol. It does not matter who you are. Friends, parents, agents and coaching-centre partners are all welcome.
If you are an AFA student
You get 5% of their course fee back as cashback, either credited against your own fee or paid out to you directly.
There is no cap. Refer two people or twenty. Every qualifying referral is paid on its own.
What that works out to
The reward is a share of what your friend actually pays, so it scales with the course. 8% if you are not an AFA student, 5% cashback if you are.

How to claim it
1. Tell them about AFA
Send them the course page, or point them at the five-day free trial so they can look before they spend anything. A referral that starts with a real look at the course is the one that turns into an enrolment.
2. Make sure we know it came from you
This is the step people lose money on. Tell a counsellor you referred them, or ask your friend to mention your name — before or at the moment they pay. There is no referral code and no link to share. We attach the referral to their enrolment by hand, which means we can only do it if somebody tells us.
Once a payment has gone through with nobody's name on it, there is nothing on the record connecting it to you.
3. Get paid
A counsellor confirms the referral against the enrolment, works out your share of what was actually paid, and releases it within 7 business days of their payment clearing.
The rules
- The referral has to be claimed before or at the point of enrolment. We cannot add it afterwards.
- The person you refer has to be new to AFA. No referring yourself, and no re-referring someone who already has an account.
- Your share is calculated on what they actually pay, after any discount, not on the listed price.
- One reward per enrolment. If your friend buys more than one course in a single payment, the percentage applies to the combined amount.
- If two people claim the same referral, the first one attached to the enrolment wins. Speak up early.
- AFA can withhold or reclaim a reward where a referral turns out to be fake, self-dealt or otherwise abused.

FAQs
How much will I actually get?
8% of whatever your friend pays, if you are not an AFA student. 5% back if you are. There is no fixed amount, because it scales with the course. A ₹4,999 course and a ₹63,999 course pay very different referral bonuses.
Do I need a referral code?
No. There is no code and no link. Just make sure a counsellor knows the referral came from you, or have your friend mention your name, before or at the time they enrol.
What if my friend was already talking to AFA before I referred them?
Check with support first. A referral has to be attached before enrolment, and if your friend already has a conversation going with a counsellor, the first attribution on the record is the one that counts.
Is the percentage on the listed price or on what they actually pay?
On what they actually pay, after any discount has been applied.
How many people can I refer?
As many as you like. There is no cap, and each qualifying referral is rewarded on its own.
When does the money arrive?
Within 7 business days of your friend's payment clearing.
What about courses that show "Price on request"?
The same percentages apply. A counsellor confirms the price with your friend, and your share is worked out from that.
Can my friend try the course first?
Yes, and they should. The five-day free trial lets them open the lessons and sit a mock test before paying anything. Referrals that begin with the trial are the ones that stick.
