Adviser skills - Representing at the First-Tier Tribunal

About this course

This two day face-to-face training course gives a basic grounding in representing clients at the First-tier Tribunal. Through mock tribunals, participants gain experience in a safe environment where there is nothing to lose.

The course covers:

• Making an appeal
• Tribunal procedure
• Case preparation – getting evidence and applying the law
• The role of the chair
• Rules of evidence
• Basic advocacy and presentational skills

This course is aimed at advisers with a working knowledge of benefits and little or no experience of representing at tribunals.
