HJT first published its Immigration Manual providing a comprehensive knowledge base for every aspect of immigration law. Many of the UK’s leading immigration law trainers have subsequently worked on its development.

About HJT Training
HJT has been training people in government, business, NGOs and local authorities since 2003, when it was first set up by barristers David Jones and Mark Symes. We now offer specialist training around human rights and business issues, as well as specific areas of law, including immigration and employment law.
At the outset, we have aimed to make legal expertise accessible to those who need it and to ensure that people’s individual rights and interests are protected. Accessibility is still core to our values – to give people an understanding of how best to apply key human rights-related principles in their daily work – whether it is related to corporate responsibility, immigration concerns, or employment law.
Two things mark out HJT. Firstly, we offer legal training that is designed to ensure that practitioners have a foundation in every dimension of immigration law, not just in theory but taught to a standard that gets them through the accreditation exams. Secondly, we offer training to non-lawyers – be they civil servants, local government officials, human resources professionals – that really delivers professional insight and expertise that will help them in their daily work.
We design our courses to be as practical as possible, so that people can immediately apply the knowledge gained in their daily work. We have systems to keep on top of legislative change and trends – so that our clients don’t have to, because we pass on that knowledge so our clients have it at their fingertips. Our subscription Mastering Immigration Law, over two decades of development, is extensively updated and amended every month to provide practitioners with the most up to date information on the law. This gives us an unrivalled foresight into the issues and compliancy requirements faced by both businesses and government today, to help them plan and prepare. It’s what makes us different from the rest!
We work hard to continually update, sharpen and evolve our knowledge, ensuring that insights and information are shared with trainees. People who attend our courses have access to key experts including leaders in NGOs and non-for-profit organisations, academics, business executives and advisers. We work with a number of partner companies and affiliates who contribute to help us make our training topical and compelling. With a combination of face-to-face courses and online courses, we aim to maximise training benefits by minimising impact on working schedule.
HJT Training are also responsible for supplying the OISC assessment papers across all 3 levels, the marking and moderation process, and the communication of exam results with examinees. We are working hard with the OISC to ensure that together we raise the standard of legal representation in the OISC sector and hope that the accreditation scheme will help us to achieve this whilst ensuring fairness, consistency and accessibility for all.
Our Values
HJT has always maintained ethical values. In the early days of the immigration accreditation exams we shared our training materials with NGO providers including JCWI, we sponsored research and publications involving country evidence and refugee law with the major national NGOs RMJ and IAS, and we make our Mastering Immigration Law resource available to small NGOs working on a non-profit basis.
