02
Target scope
Clarify what you want the licence to let you do next before choosing the pathway.
03
Evidence for the change
Upgrades and broader classes may need experience, qualifications or referee support beyond the current licence.

Pathway sequence
Mutual recognition, new applications, variations and company/nominee questions can change the order of steps.
