OISC/IAA LEVEL 1 COURSE SYLLABUS
Our OISC/IAA Level 1 Course follows the following main topics:
- The OISC – what it does and how it operates
- The Level 1 competence assessment
- Analysis of the structures, terminology and framework of UK immigration and nationality law
- Visitor leave and visitor rules
- Working/business/family/study visas – overview
- Settlement
- Overstaying and overstaying rules
- British citizenship and British naturalisation/registration
We don’t want you to feel lost in the crowd. That’s why we always keep our class sizes small. The training you’ll receive during our course is designed to help you pass the OISC competence assessment. Moreover we encourage delegates to engage, interact and ask questions.
How Do Our Courses Work?
In the days leading up to the course, you’ll receive a course handbook, agenda and link to join the session. Our courses are held on Microsoft Teams. Our team is on hand to help with any initial questions you have.
Our one-day online OISC Level 1 course is split into 4 sessions, broken up by a lunchbreak and 2 shorter, 15-minute, breaks. We encourage you to ask questions, engage on the chat and network with others in the immigration sector.
After the course, you receive your certificate and course recordings. We recognise that learning is a journey, so our team is available afterwards to address questions arising from the course.
Who should take the OISC Level 1 course?
You may need to take the Level 1 course if you fall into any of the below categories: a) you want to pass the OISC Level 1 competence assessment; b) you want to set up your own OISC business; c) you want to increase your knowledge of the OISC and of UK immigration law; or d) if you are new to UK immigration law and want to decide if working as an OISC adviser is the right career path for you.

What can I do with OISC Level 1 accreditation?
Following the government guidance, OISC level 1 advisers are permitted to undertake advisory and assistance work, and submit basic immigration applications including the following categories:
- visitors
- spouses/unmarried partners under the five-year route
- fiancé(e)s
- other dependent relatives
- Settled and Pre-settled Status application
- Points Based Immigration System applications
- Other work visas permitted under the rules (for example – UK Ancestry Visa or Frontier Worker Permit)
- Applications covering extensions of stay and settlement under Appendix ECAA, formerly covered by the European Communities Association Agreement (ECAA).
- Diplomats, their family members and domestic staff
- BN(O) Status Holder
Where cases or applications become more complex, such as with illegal entry, human rights grounds, or application rejections, the adviser should refer to a higher level adviser.
No substantive asylum work, such as making applications or appeals, is permitted at Level 1.

Our immigration law tutors are experienced OISC-accredited advisers and have been working in the immigration field for many years. They are knowledgeable in their field and teach OISC delegates the information required in order to pass the OISC exam.
OISC/IAA Mock Papers
Less than half of the people who sit an OISC competence assessment receive a pass grade. Our Mock Exam Papers are crafted to give you the crucial exam practice you need to pass your IAA exams on the first attempt. Our Level 1 Mock Papers are up-to-date papers and test you on current law and your scripts are marked by our experienced immigration lawyers.
Our examiners mark your script and provide you with feedback, which includes an assessment of your answers, including what you did well and tips on how you can improve to your answers.
We offer 4 x Mock Papers for IAA Level 1. If you enrol onto our OISC/IAA Level 1 course, you receive a 50% discount on your first Mock Paper.
