1. Is licencing the same as accreditation?
   If so, see Get your training accredited

2. not the same
   .. in my view.

   With accreditation you would be the sole practitioner (as I understand it).

   With licencing, any courses you may have devised can be undertaken by other trainers.

3. I’m no expert but…

   In the past I have purchased ‘licensed’ training courses & material – the license was treated as part of a complete package which was subject to a contract.

   So, under contract, I purchaed training materials, a train the trainer /handover event(the seller had to ensure my credibility to run his course in a suitable way) and a license to run the course which was renewable annually.

   As far as I can see, as long as you can prove the material is your own (through copyright or whatever), then you can draw up a licence and contract, (to purchase the complete package,) through your legal representative.

   With the material I purchased, there was various licensing options based on either numbers of people trained or number of courses run or based on a specifiied time frame (each had different prices attached).

   Not sure if that helps but good luck.

4. Thank you Clive
   Splendid. That’s been most helpful.

   I shall now have to think of all the caveats etc and then shake some pennies at my legal bods!

   Thanks again, Euphrosene
