Our comprehensive online immigration law training course for new immigration lawyers or advisers is perfect for the OISC Level 1 exams. It costs just £20 plus VAT to get started as a monthly member with access to this and over 100 hours of our other courses, and you can cancel your membership at any time.

We’ve also created a separate shorter course all about the OISC regulations, system of ethics and the exams, and we’ve turned that into a free ebook. Click to expand the shorter course contents:

The 20 question, timed, auto-marking mock multiple choice exams are modelled closely on real papers from the OISC. We’re also testing a whizzy new system of giving targeted feedback; where people get questions wrong we’ll point out if there is a theme or weak area of knowledge and offer further reading suggestion
Take a look for yourself and let us know what you think. We’re keen to improve and enhance the course over time and this is just the first version.
