What a licence means
The slow part is done
Getting a licence takes an application, checks and a fee, and most employers never bother. BUGS Bioscience Ltd has, which means when a role qualifies the certificate can be assigned without months of preparation.
How to approach them
Make the certificate easy
The employer assigns the certificate; you supply what it needs. Certificates, references, your English level and a clear licence position, all ready, is what makes BUGS Bioscience Ltd say yes to the sponsored candidate over the unsponsored one.
