The Workshop is intended to provide Registered Migration Agents (RMA professionals) and Lawyers with a solid foundation for all GSM subclasses within the General Skilled Migration framework and equip Agents and Immigration Lawyers with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate the legal criteria and advise clients confidently on any GSM matters.
Workshops will consist of discussion and case study analysis. There is no assessment component but participants will be given an opportunity to attempt simulated case studies based on real-life scenarios. Feedback will be provided during the session. These sessions are designed for newly registered RMAs and lawyers wanting to gain a basic understanding of the foundational requirements to meet the criteria for the relevant application.
*CPD Recordings for Lawyers:
The Video recordings have been designed to meet the CPD needs of lawyers. If the session does meet your CPD needs according to the Uniform CPD (Solicitors) Rules 2015 available here, you may claim 1 CPD unit for each hour of viewing (breaks not included). These recordings are considered Private Study units of an audio/visual material.
Each workshop and information session video replay includes a set of presentation slides and relevant case studies (if applicable). Workbooks are not included in the pricing and are available for purchase separately here.
Lawyers are advised to check their relevant State/Territory legal regulator on the limit of CPD units available to be claimed as Private Study units. This workshop falls within the Substantive Law CPD field.
*Recordings for Non-Lawyer RMAs:
Non-lawyer RMAs are unable to claim OMARA CPD points for pre-recorded CPD recordings or video replays of a workshop or information session. If you need OMARA CPD points, Enriched Migration Training offers a range of CPD topics relevant to your migration agency practice for OMARA Re-registration purposes. CPD workshops (Face-to-Face or online webinars) are offered “live” to meet the OMARA CPD requirements for RMAs and Lawyers.
