How to request a licence

Learners should have a discussion with their line manager to confirm their suitability and learning objectives for the programme (the SLDP NFCC Pre-programme briefing document will help).

Each service should have an assigned single point of contact (SPOC) for SLDP, so once suitability has been confirmed, the line manager should contact the SPOC to request a licence for the learner. If you are unsure who your SPOC is, please contact HR or your learning and development manager.

The SPOC will require the learner’s name, work email address and agreed start date for the licence and should send all requests to nfcccontentandguidance@nfcc.org.uk

If any learners have previously held an account or completed any learning with CMI, please can you advise us at the time of registration, to avoid duplicate accounts being created.
