You will also need equipment if you don't already have them like beam setters for a start.

Read, he asked for what is required to get a wof license. Equipment is part of the items required.

You only need one beam setter John, it can be used on both headlamps. Don't scare the OP too much.

He asked on what is required, I could go much further and ideally you will also want a hoist.

Then you have audits, moany customer asking why they failed for having metal sticking out of their tyres.

I am pretty sure that you don't need any at all, I hardly ever see them used during a wof! :pOn a serious note, if you want to get approved for issuing wofs you want to make sure you toe the line bang on, they can get pretty queer over small things, quite fussy, which is a good thing I suppose. good luck!

There is a lot of slack AVI mantagsi, some it is just tyres and lights then its a pass.

Absolutely not, approved beamsetters are compulsory and have been for some years.

It's a nightmare to qualify and really expensive, my poor mechanic had to send his chaps for schooling and tests, in the end he gave up and jsut employed someone that did WOF's.
