## Questions

### Is this course immigration advice?

No. It is general information for people who choose an agent. It gives no legal, tax, immigration or financial advice. Ask a qualified adviser about your own case.

### Does the course give investment amounts or fees?

No. Amounts and fees change often. Read them on the official government page and note the date. Use a figure only when you can see its official source and its date.

### Does the certificate make me an agent or an adviser?

No. It is a certificate of completion from this site. It records that you passed the exam. It is not a licence, an authorisation or a professional qualification.
