Immigration training

Training is a great way to gain knowledge of UK immigration law and confidence in dealing with the Home Office. With our training courses you will be better able to make business and recruitment plans and ensure compliance.

 

Our courses are designed for HR personnel, in-house counsel, managers and staff.

 

Our standard training offering includes in-depth training on key immigration topics. We also present shorter sessions to provide an overview, focus on an area or examine topical issues like GDPR through an immigration lens. Bespoke training on particular areas can be arranged.

How we can help

Checking right to work correctly

If your organisation has been checking right to work documents without having taken advice from an immigration lawyer, it is definitely worth signing up for a training course to reduce the risk of a civil penalty (fine) from the Home Office.

Fulfilling sponsor duties

If you are trying to manage sponsorship without having had any training, you are likely wasting time and jeopardising your organisation’s ability to sponsor non-UK nationals to work. Sign up for one of our sponsorship training courses.

New UK businesses

Our training courses are perfect for organisations that have freshly set up in the UK and would like to hire and for organisations planning to sponsor non-UK nationals to work in the UK.
