Highlights

CPD status

This course is not a CPD activity unless the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) approves it. GSCE intends to apply to CICC for CPD approval. No CPD hours are currently approved for this course.

Overview

About the course

This programme is for practising RCICs who already use generative AI and want to move from casual prompting to repeatable, controlled workflows inside an immigration practice.

Across eight live evening sessions you will design, test and review workflows for document review, forms, legal research, client communication and intake, with professional responsibility and human review built into every step. All exercises use fictional files.

What is included

  • Eight live online group sessions with Al Parsai
  • Two private implementation sessions with Al, booked when you enrol
  • Two fictional case packs and six workflow guides
  • Reusable instruction templates and verification checklists
  • A professional AI-use policy template
  • A 30-day implementation plan for your practice
  • Live participation in every session: sessions are not recorded and no replays are provided

What you'll learn

  1. Foundations

    Choosing suitable tasks, defining inputs and outputs, setting source boundaries, structured instructions and human review checkpoints.

  2. Professional responsibility

    The Code of Professional Conduct, competence, confidentiality, accountability for AI errors, and current government and tribunal requirements.

  3. Document review and discrepancies

    Extracting facts with provenance, document inventories, and discrepancy logs that separate extracted facts from AI inference.

  4. Forms and online applications

    Mapping verified source information to form fields, validation rules, reconciliation and client confirmation checkpoints.

  5. Legal research and drafting

    Framing research questions, verifying citations and quotations, and building evidence-linked submission outlines.

  6. Client communication and intake

    Controlled drafting of client correspondence, and intake workflows with escalation flags.

  7. Integrated workflow audit

    Tracing a fictional matter from intake to final professional review with a quality rubric and revision log.

  8. Applied vibe coding

    Specifying, building and testing a small internal prototype with fictional data, including failure testing and a deployment decision.

  9. Practice implementation

    Content and enquiry handling, workflow costs, and a 30-day implementation plan for your own practice.
