Welcome to our intermediate course on immigration law, addressing topics of immigration, asylum, and nationality. This course caters to individuals aiming to obtain accreditation with IAA as level 2 consultants. Nonetheless, it serves as a comprehensive resource for practitioners operating within the intermediate spectrum of migration law, such as solicitors with 0-5 years of post-qualification experience or caseworkers accredited at IAAS level 1.
Designed for self-paced learning, the course integrates numerous links to supplementary resources. As a member of NMIL Training you enjoy complimentary access to all our course offerings. For instance, if you seek insights into family migration applications, explore our dedicated courses on Appendix FM and Appendix Adult Dependent Relative.
Comprising nine modules, each delving into distinct subjects, the course breaks down into units, facilitating navigation through the sidebar. At the conclusion of each module, a quiz awaits, serving as a tool to assess comprehension and reinforce key concepts. It’s worth noting that these quizzes are designed to aid learning and are not aligned with formal qualification standards.
Prospective IAA level 2 consultants will apply for registration under either the immigration category, the asylum and protection category, or both. Our curriculum aligns with both the level 2 immigration syllabus and the asylum and protection syllabus. For instance, while focusing on the asylum syllabus, candidates must also grasp the framework and application of Immigration Rules, encompassing key categories of entry and residency.
Likewise, applicants targeting the immigration category must possess familiarity with the Refugee Convention, the UK asylum process, and provisions concerning family reunification. This ensures the ability to accurately identify and address immigration issues or appropriately refer clients to specialized advisors.
Thus, this course amalgamates relevant subject matter. Candidates preparing for the asylum and protection assessment should prioritize modules 3, 4, and 5, while acquainting themselves with the entirety of the curriculum. Similarly, those gearing up for the immigration assessment may allocate less time to modules 3 and 4 but should not neglect them entirely.
Anticipate dedicating approximately 40 hours or five full days to thoroughly absorb the course materials. Your pace may vary, either progressing swiftly through the content or proceeding at a slower rate.
In the final module, guidance is provided on advancing from IAA level 1 to level 2, both on an individual and organizational level. Additionally, the last two units offer insights into exam preparation, covering exam format, study strategies, and practical tips for assessment day.
