The Latin American Immigration Association (LAIA) is expanding career opportunities for professionals in the immigration services sector through comprehensive training programs designed to prepare individuals as registered immigration consultants. The organization offers multiple training pathways, including live and on-demand courses focused on family-based and employment-based immigration documentation.
LAIA's training curriculum covers critical aspects of immigration consulting, including USCIS compliance, ethical standards, and detailed document preparation techniques. The programs feature three primary training options: a 3-day live family-based immigration training, a 4-day live employment-based immigration training, and a 1-day advanced on-demand family-based training.
Led by industry veterans Greg McKewen and Renee Waite, the training programs aim to equip participants with practical skills and business insights necessary for success in the immigration services industry. Participants receive comprehensive course materials, including hardcopy textbooks, PowerPoint slide decks, and one-year access to recorded sessions.
These training programs represent a significant opportunity for professionals seeking to enter or advance in the immigration consulting field. By providing industry-recognized certification and mentorship from experienced professionals, LAIA is addressing the growing demand for skilled immigration document preparation specialists.
The training goes beyond technical skills, offering guidance on legal compliance, ethical practices, client management, and business development strategies. This holistic approach positions participants to not only become proficient consultants but also potentially establish successful independent practices.
