Sponsorship licence training
Sponsorship licence training helps HR teams and key personnel understand their Home Office duties. Our solicitors deliver tailored sessions to strengthen compliance, avoid penalties, and protect your ability to sponsor overseas workers.
Employers licensed to sponsor overseas workers must meet strict compliance requirements. The Home Office expects sponsors to keep accurate records, report changes promptly, and manage certificates of sponsorship (CoS) correctly. Failure to meet these obligations risks downgrades, suspension, or revocation of your licence.
With new salary and English language requirements introduced for skilled worker and scale-up routes from 2026, ongoing training is increasingly important to keep internal teams up to date.

Our training is tailored to your organisation and may include:
- Sponsor duties and legal obligations under the immigration rules.
- Using the sponsor management system (SMS) effectively.
- Record-keeping and reporting requirements.
- Monitoring absences, job changes, and visa expiry dates.
- Salary thresholds, SOC codes, and job eligibility.
- Understanding the new Part Suitability framework and its compliance implications.
- Meeting new English language (B2) and salary standards for sponsored roles.
