IAA Level 1 Training Course

Once you are authorised at Level 1, you can advise on and assist with basic, one-off applications that fall within the Immigration Rules, for example entry clearance, applications to vary permission to stay, and EU Settlement Scheme applications. Level 1 advisers do not handle asylum claims and cannot represent clients at appeal. That work sits at the higher levels.

Everything at Level 1, plus asylum applications and related human rights matters, complex and discretionary applications, and representations to UK Visas and Immigration. Level 2 advisers can lodge notices of appeal but cannot represent clients at an appeal hearing.

The highest level of IAA authorisation, adding preparation of cases and representation of clients before the First-tier and Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber).
