Educational establishments whose sole purpose is to provide education in the UK are eligible for a licence.  The ERA Licence only applies under UK law and therefore only institutions in the United kingdom incl Channel Islands and Isle of Man can be licensed.

The TV Licence is entirely separate from the ERA Licence.

If your establishment receives TV and radio programmes as they are broadcast or accesses BBC iPlayer, then a TV Licence will be required in addition to the ERA Licence.

Please contact bbc.co.uk for advice as to whether your institution requires a TV Licence.

Please get in touch with ERA directly if you have any questions. The ERA team is happy to help: era@era.org.uk
