Adding an activity to a licence

You can add an activity or endorsement to your licence at any time.

To add these activities / endorsements, you need to access the My Licence portal and ‘Amend’ your licence.  You will be prompted to provide all training requirements and a Statement of Attainment.

The licence period for new activities will be back-dated to the start date of your current licence and will expire on the same date.
