Universal Credit - Managed Migration
Make sure you're ready for Managed Migration - choose from one of our courses below.

Whether it is a half day basic overview, a full day looking at Managed Migration from a rent accounts perspective, or a series of more in-depth courses that take a deep dive into the topics benefits advisers need to know, hopefully we have a course that delivers.

Over the next 6 months 400,000 Migration Notices will be sent out, in some cases to claimants who may find the process difficult and confusing. Do the wrong thing at the wrong time and someone could miss out on the much needed Transitional Protection they would have been entitled to.
Front line staff need to have the knowledge to be able to support their customers and help ensure a smooth move over to UC.

We tailor every course we deliver - so the courses/content shown are just samples and a starting point for designing the course you need.
