This course is suitable for those sitting the OISC competence assessment at Level 2. It will provide delegates with an understanding of the main aspects of immigration and asylum law and practice.
Please note that due to the ground covered by the course the trainer will move at a fairly intense pace. The course will include the substantive knowledge AND the skills required to pass the OISC competence assessments and accreditation exams; it will also focus on those aspects of law and policy which are most topical and therefore more likely to be encountered in examinations and practice.
