Who should enrol? ## Who Is the Weekend Course For? ### Learners Who Need a Faster Route For people who want instructor-led Level 1 teaching but cannot commit to the longer 15-week weekly programme. ### Learners Consolidating Existing Knowledge Particularly useful if you already have some immigration-law exposure and want a structured intensive refresher across the major topics. ### Beginners Comfortable with Intensive Study Beginners can join, but should expect a fast pace and plan additional reading and revision around the weekend. Weekend course FAQs ## IAA Level 1 Weekend Training FAQs Key questions about the two-day format, course content, exam guidance and regulatory position. Immigration law and IAA assessment arrangements can change. Teaching materials should always be read alongside the latest official IAA syllabus and resources. How long is the IAA Level 1 Weekend Training course? The course runs live online across Saturday and Sunday and provides approximately 10 hours of instructor-led teaching in total. Does the weekend course cover the whole IAA Level 1 syllabus? The programme is designed to cover the principal and most important Level 1 subject areas in an intensive format. Because it is delivered over two days, it cannot provide the same depth or study time as the longer 15-week programme, and additional independent reading and revision are expected. Does the course include exam preparation? Yes. One hour at the end of each day is dedicated to exam-preparation guidance, including revision approach, use of official resources and practical preparation strategy. Does the £549 fee include the 500+ MCQ practice bank? No. The 500+ MCQ Exam Practice subscription is a separate product and can be purchased independently if you want extensive question, past-paper and mock-test practice. Is the weekend course suitable for complete beginners? Yes, but the course moves quickly. Beginners should be prepared for an intensive weekend and may need more pre-reading and post-course study than learners who already have some immigration-law knowledge. Will completing this course authorise me to provide immigration advice? No. Completing a private training course does not itself grant IAA authorisation. Adviser and organisation registration, competence requirements and formal authorisation are controlled by the Immigration Advice Authority. Can I join from outside the UK? Yes. The programme is delivered live online. Overseas learners should ensure they can attend the scheduled weekend sessions in UK time and understand that the course focuses on UK immigration law. What should I do after the weekend course? Continue revising the areas covered, use the latest IAA syllabus and official resource materials, and consider dedicated MCQ and mock-test practice if you are moving into assessment preparation. **Current assessment guidance:** The IAA has announced revised syllabuses and an additional component covering the Code of Standards, ethics and professional behaviours. Our practice exercises are supplementary preparation and do not define the official assessment format or pass marks. Check [the IAA assessment update](https://www.gov.uk/government/news/iaa-announces-changes-to-the-competence-assessment-process) for implementation details. Before booking, read our [Training Course Terms and Conditions](/training-terms/) and [fees and refunds information](/fees-and-refunds/). Official preparation resources ## Use Current IAA Materials Alongside Your Training The official Level 1 syllabus covers immigration law, asylum and protection, nationality, appeals, ethics, and essential skills and abilities. The IAA also publishes the Level 1 exam resource book and sample assessments for candidate preparation. ### IAA Level 1 Syllabus [View on GOV.UK](https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6ab26040fe72ed1e2b02ee5c/Level_1_Immigration_2026_Syllabus.pdf) ### Level 1 Exam Resource Book [View on GOV.UK](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/level-1-exam-resource-book) ### Level 1 Sample Assessments [View on GOV.UK](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-assessment-level-1-oisc) Explore other courses ## Related Courses You May Be Interested In Many learners combine substantive training with dedicated exam practice.
