Certificate of Sponsorship masterclass: avoid a CoS refusal

A Certificate of Sponsorship isn't paperwork, it's where most sponsorship problems begin. Home Office scrutiny on CoS requests has stepped up, refusals are hitting cases that used to be routine, and when they come back with queries you get just five working days to respond. This masterclass covers what's changed, how CoS actually work, and the details that most often trigger a refusal. What you'll learn: What's changed at the Home Office, including the 22 July 2025 close of overseas care worker recruitment and the shift to in-country switches and renewals The difference between a defined and an undefined CoS, and why using the wrong type gets the visa refused automatically with no appeal What a genuine vacancy looks like, and how a mismatch between the job description, SOC code, contract and salary triggers a refusal How to get the salary right against the occupation code going rate, not just the general Skilled Worker minimum The role, operational and candidate evidence the Home Office expects in every request, plus the checks to run before you submit Get the CoS right and the worker starts on time, with no gap in care to cover and no costly re-application to manage.
