Designed for anyone recruiting staff from outside the UK, this course is for licensed sponsors or for those looking to become a sponsor. It covers the newly revised Points Based System in detail, including Tier 1 and Tier 5. Time is spent examining the shortage occupation list, intra-company transfers, and the practicalities of sponsorship. We also cover the employment of students who are sponsored by an education provider under the student route of the points based system.

We deliberately keep our workshops small to enable interaction and the opportunity to ask questions and share experience. This helps put the learning points into practice and therefore embed the knowledge. Our learning points for this session are:
