Glyn's Past Training
Tutors: Glyn Lloyd and Abbie Lacey, Newfields Law
Navigating the Tier 4 visa routes can present a number of challenges to those practitioners who are either unfamiliar with the UK education system or who have relatively few clients applying under this part of the Immigration Rules. This training provides an overview of the Tier 4 route, taking into account both express and nuanced requirements that are placed on both the visa applicant and the Tier 4 sponsor. This session is delivered by former international student immigration advisers at a large Russell Group university and will seek to demystify the more complex aspects of the Tier 4 general policy. This course will provide practical examples to assist practitioners in having a better understanding of the study immigration routes and to support in their delivery of comprehensive, holistic advice to clients.
Tutors: Julian Bild, ATLEU and Glyn Lloyd, Newfields

This session will focus on situations which Immigration Law Practitioners come across fairly regularly but which can usually only be resolved by applying a good knowledge of employment law in the UK.
It will also consider a number of group employment structures which Immigration Law practitioners are increasingly likely to come across and the immigration implications which may arise from them.
