Question How can a sailplane towing rating be gained in the uk?

Hello

I have been looking at how to apply for a sailplane towing rating and the pre-requisites needed on the CAA website. The requirements listed on their webpage only seem to apply to those who are converting from an old uk issued ppl licence to a part FCL licence? and I can't find where it mentions what is needed for someone who has only an EASA ppl(a), with no previous towing experience, to qualify for a towing rating.

This is the section of the CAA website I was viewing Convert a Sailplane Towing Rating held on a BGA Gliding Certificate | Private Pilots | Personal Licences and Training. I have sent them an email, but the 18 day estimated reply time will be too long.

Any advice and information on how an EASA ppl holder gains a sailplane towing rating would be gratefully received and very helpful. Thank you for your time.
