Immigration Training for Employers

Immigration Training for HR Teams, Managers and Compliance Leads

Effective immigration compliance starts with clear understanding. Our Immigration team provides professional training for HR advisers, managers, Authorising Officers and Level 1 Users on every stage of the UK immigration process. Whether you are new to sponsorship or looking to strengthen existing systems, our training sessions are designed to provide practical, up‑to‑date guidance tailored to your organisation’s needs.

Training is available throughout the year, and our lawyers can also deliver in‑house sessions at a time that suits your business.

What does our Immigration Training cover?

We provide training on all areas of business immigration, including:

  • Key information for employers considering becoming a sponsor: an overview of Sponsor Licence requirements, eligibility, internal systems and Home Office expectations.
  • Sponsor duties and compliance: detailed guidance on reporting and record-keeping, managing the employment of sponsored workers, HR systems, Home Office audits and risk management.
  • Day to day management of sponsored workers: a practical, in depth guide for HR teams, Authorising Officers and Level 1 Users, covering the use of the Sponsor Management System (SMS), role changes, absences and compliance processes.
  • Right to work check compliance: clear instruction on online checks, manual checks, IDSP use, document retention and risk mitigation.

Training sessions use practical examples and real‑world scenarios to help your team feel confident in managing immigration obligations correctly.

HR System Audits

They are also able to carry out an audit of your current HR systems and practices and provide advice on changes the business may need to make to meet the Home Office requirements. It is recommended that all businesses carry out an audit for before applying for a sponsor licence to ensure they are best placed to meet the Home Office rules once a licence is granted.
