Helps if I actually read the ad I posted.
And if people reading your posts actually answered your question too ( Like I didn't)
Maybe stupid question but here goes.....
Do you need to wait for a wav grant scheme to be announced to get a wav license,or can you get one anytime(just not with the few grand back).
So to answer your question...Yes you can apply for a WAT licence regardless of grants, but with Covid it is really slow.
My brother applied for a limo licence months ago and between the NTA losing his postal/money order, sending the application back and forth for whatever reason it still hasn't been processed. He sent it just before Covid and with all the jigs and reels ended up cancelling the application and staying where he was.
