Your complete guide to using the Sponsor Management System
Your sponsor licence lives in one place: the Sponsor Management System (SMS), the Home Office portal where you assign a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS), report a change, manage your users, and request more allocation. Get comfortable with it and compliance becomes routine. Leave it to one person who half-remembers the steps, and a missed report or a wrong field is how a licence gets downgraded. This session is a screen-by-screen walkthrough of the SMS, what each part is for, and the actions that carry a deadline. Join the session at 11am UK on 22 September 2026.
What you'll learn
- How to assign a CoS correctly, and the difference between a defined and an undefined CoS.
- Which worker and organisation changes you must report through the SMS, and the reporting deadlines that apply (many within 10 working days).
- How to manage your key personnel and Level 1 and Level 2 users without leaving a gap.
- How to request more CoS allocation and keep your details current before a renewal or audit.
