Presumably the ground exam content is already in the NPPL(SLMG) but I can't for the life of me work out why a microlight pilot needs a separate skills test whilst a motorglider pilot does not.
Also apparently the microlight pilot (who already did this in his NPPL(M) ) needs two hours of stall & spin awareness training, whilst the SLMG pilot does not - they of-course also did that training.
However, that's just how it is.
The rules are
