OISC and Open University Courses

To assist you with your CPD we are pleased to offer, free of charge, access to our OISC core knowledge courses as well as to Open University (OU) non-core knowledge courses. These courses are not compulsory and are provided for you to take if you choose to.

Each course has been allocated a certain number of CPD hours and this is specified in the course introduction.  The hours will be automatically recorded in your statistics on passing the associated quiz. You are allowed 3 attempts to pass each quiz and the hours can be allocated only once in a 12 month period.

Core knowledge is divided into 4 areas:

  • All levels.  The professional conduct course is applicable to advisers at all levels.
  • Basic courses focus on basic immigration applications, particularly those made within the immigration rules. They cover the criteria stipulated by the Immigration Rules and EEA Regulations.
  • Intermediate courses focus on exceptional and complex applications that fall outside of the Immigration Rules and are dealt with under concessionary policies e.g. overstayers and illegal entrants.
  • Advanced courses focus on the preparation of appeals in the Immigration Courts. Advisers are recommended to complete intermediate courses before attempting these.

Non-core knowledge is applicable to all advisers.
