Visa sponsorship

  • Training Contract

    RPC explicitly commits to Skilled Worker visa sponsorship once a training contract offer in the UK is accepted.

    “If you accept a UK training contract offer with RPC, we can provide sponsorship for a Skilled Worker visa.”
  • London Summer Scheme

    RPC sponsors Skilled Worker visas for trainees but says only that Summer Scheme applicants need the right to work, which is a requirement rather than a refusal.

    “To take part in the London Summer Scheme, you must have the right to work full-time (35 hours per week) in the UK. If you accept a UK training contract offer with RPC, we can provide sponsorship for a Skilled Worker visa.”
