Application forms and guidance

You should read the relevant guidance document before you start to fill in the application form.

The guidance documents will tell you:

  • who should complete the form;
  • which sections of the form you need to complete; and
  • the documents you need to submit along with your application.

Check whether you need a licence

We have developed a number of flow charts to help you decide if your activity requires a HTA licence.

The guidance will help you to decide whether you need a licence. The guidance will also help you determine which licence you need and the licensable activities it should cover.

It’s important you know what type of licence to apply for as the application forms and guidance are different for each sector.

Find out what information you need to apply

There are three roles which apply within licences: the Designated Individual (DI), the Licence Holder and the Person(s) Designated. You will need to choose suitable people to fulfil these roles.

This section is designed to help Designated Individuals (DIs) and named contacts understand their role and responsibilities. 

This section is also relevant to Licence Holders and individuals working under HTA licences.

Complete the application form for your sector

Once you have read all the relevant information and are ready to apply, read the relevant application guidance and complete the relevant application form(s).

The Licence Holder and Designated Individual should work as a team with other key members of staff within your establishment in preparing detailed and accurate answers in the application.
