93: Board may issue provisional licence pending consideration of application

You could also call this:

“You can get a temporary licence while waiting for a full one”

The Board can give you a temporary licence to do specific electrical work. You need to pay a fee for this if there is one. This temporary licence is called a provisional licence.

The Board can add special rules or conditions to your provisional licence if they think it’s necessary.

When you have a provisional licence, you can do the electrical work listed on it while you wait for the Board to look at your application for full registration or a regular practising licence (or both). The provisional licence lets you do this work or help others do it.
