## Questions

### Does this course give legal advice?

No. It teaches how to use the public registers and this directory, and which questions to ask. For advice about your own case, ask a qualified professional: a licensed lawyer or a DOJ-accredited representative.

### Does the certificate let me help other people with immigration cases?

No. It is a certificate of completion from this site. It is not a licence, not DOJ recognition or accreditation, and not a legal qualification.

### Is a listing a recommendation?

No. A listing shows facts that a public register states. It does not say that a provider is good, has space or fits your case.
