Recognition pathways may help existing licence holders, but eligibility, notices and local rules need checking.
What this means for your training plan
Recognition arrangements can support some existing licence holders, but eligibility, notifications and local conditions still need checking. A national qualification is not itself an unrestricted permission to work in every jurisdiction.
