Description

The Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC), through the Home Office intends to make an amount of up to £174,000 for a 3-year term, available to a Provider to provide a competence assessment service to test those applying to become regulated Immigration Advisers. OISC requires an external organisation to write, mark and moderate immigration and asylum question papers at all Levels (1-3) in order to adequately assess a candidate's knowledge of immigration and asylum. OISC will review draft papers produced to ensure that they are in line with our Guidance on Competence and to quality assure the papers prior to a final paper being confirmed. Assessment include both multiple choice sections and scenario exercise aimed at testing the broad area of work an Immigration Adviser is expected to know. Payment will be based on some set unit costs to compile tests but contain an variable costs dependent upon candidates applying to be qualified.
