Course outline:

Term has begun and your international students are enrolling with you, but have you fulfilled your sponsor licence duties to ensure your students can commence their studies?

Are you clear on how to check whether your international students have the right to study in the UK? Do you know what documents to check, what information you are looking for and what to keep records of?

Conducting right to study checks is a core requirement for sponsors to support immigration control.

Training topics will include:

Current immigration landscape
Student sponsor duties at enrolment
Documents: what to look out for
Best practice for record-keeping
Common pitfalls and how to mitigate risk.
