The DLRA Accredited Official licencing structure has two parts: Graded Officials Licences and Non Graded Officials Licences.

Graded Officials Licences have six grading levels and are available to all DLRA Accredited Officials to achieve. Non Graded Officials Licenses have two types: Specialist Licence holders are those that hold professional qualifications and are registered medical service providers. Appointed Licence holders are those that have been appointed by the management of the DLRA.  

The diagram below shows the licence pathway and the available disciplines in which to specialise at Bronze level.
