Changes to AALA Licensing – Adventure RMS Statement
The following is a statement from Adventure RMS regarding pending changes to the AALA Licensing.
January 2025
The HSE have announced changes to the way they will operate the AALA licensing scheme from 1st April 2025.
These changes relate to:
· The method of determining/calculating licence duration
· The options available to inspectors when reviewing applications for a licence
If you currently hold a licence, you do not need to do anything different, as these changes will not affect your licence.
Any licence with a start date from the 1st April onwards will be issued using the HSEs new licence duration policy.
Inspectors undertaking application reviews from the 1st April onwards may decide to use a broader range of remote and/or in-person inspection methods.
Full information in relation to each of these changes has been emailed to existing licence holders by the AALA/HSE and is openly available in the ‘Guidance’ section of the Adventure RMS website or by clicking the links below.
