NPPL (SLMG) to NPPL (SSEA)
Has anyone done the addition of a SSEA class rating to an NPPL with SLMG & microlight class ratings?
This seems very straightforward, just some conversion training at my discretion and no tests, flight or theory. Just wondering what the conversion training you did was and how long it took.
Much less requirements than if the candidate was microlight qualified;
So, as my student has both the above class ratings, which set of requirements apply? The less onerous SLMG (which is what I think) or the more involved microlight?
I know I can contact NPPL, they're always pretty helpful, just wondering if anybody's already done it.

The holder of a valid NPPL with Microlight Class Rating without restrictions
who wishes to obtain a SSEA Class Rating shall:
a. Produce the NPPL;
b. Produce logbook evidence of currency on Microlight aircraft;
c Carry out such SSEA conversion training as is judged necessary by the FI(A) or CRI(SPA) conducting the training to achieve the required standard for the applicant to take the NPPL NST and GST in a SSEA. This training must include:

(4) Not less than the 32 hours required minimum total flight time for the NPPL with SSEA Class Rating, which may be a combination of both Microlight and SSEA flying.
d. Pass the JAR-FCL PPL (A) theoretical examination in Aircraft (General) & Principles of Flight;
e. Hold a valid NPPL Medical Declaration or JAA Class 1 or 2 medical certificate;
f. Pass the NPPL NST and GST in a SSEA.
