Once you have completed the course, you can log into your online account and apply straight away for your revalidation.

The Revalidation Course may be completed up to six months before the revalidation date set by the NI. The course will be valid for a period of 12 months only, in which you must send in an application into the NI. If you are completing the course for the first time, there is no minimum DP sea time requirement.
