Video Testimonials for Schools & Educational Programs
Attract more students and parents with authentic video testimonials from alumni, current students, and educators.
Short answer
Schools and course providers collect student and alumni video testimonials by sending a link at graduation, course completion or a career milestone. Students record from any browser, and you feature each program's own stories on its program page. For students under 18, get a parent or guardian's consent before publishing. VideoTestimonials' free plan covers 10 video and 20 text testimonials.
The Trust Problem in Education
Every day, potential customers choose your competitors because they can't see proof that you deliver. Here's what you're up against.
Prospective students and parents compare dozens of programs and rely on peer experiences to make decisions
Enrollment marketing feels impersonal when it's only brochures and stock photos of campus life
Online courses and bootcamps struggle to prove legitimacy and outcomes without student proof
Alumni success stories exist but are scattered across LinkedIn and never aggregated for marketing use

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about using video testimonials in education.
Can we collect testimonials from minors?
For students under 18, you'll need parental or guardian consent. In VideoTestimonials you can rewrite the consent step's wording and add a custom question asking for a parent or guardian's name and confirmation. Keep your own signed media release on file too.
How do we get alumni to participate if they've already graduated?
Send testimonial requests via email campaigns timed to alumni milestones — reunions, career promotions, or program anniversaries. The remote recording feature means they can participate from anywhere.
Can we organize testimonials by program or department?
Yes. Use a separate collection form for each program, or tag testimonials in the dashboard to keep them sorted, then build a Wall of Love for each program, department or degree level with its testimonials picked by hand.
Do you support multiple languages for international students?
Students can record or write in any language, and you can write your form's questions and prompts in theirs. The form's built-in labels, such as field names and recorder buttons, are in English.
