Trading licenses for multi strat PM

As a PM or sub PM at a hedge fund in the UK who would be trading equity index futures, maybe some listed equity index options and some OTC derivatives and executing all trades himself, do you need any trading licenses? I suppose you need to be registered with the FCA, but do you also need to pass any exams or apply for other licenses for that ?
