National Certificate for Personal Licence Holders (Level 2)

Why?

It is now the law in England and Wales that anyone who authorises the sale of alcohol to the public must hold a personal licence.
Those who wish to obtain a personal licence need to apply to their local authority.
Applicants will be asked for a number of things to support their application; these will include proof that they hold a licensing qualification such as the BIIAB NCPLH.

Who should take this qualification?

Anyone who wishes to work in a licensed premises or any venue or site where alcohol is sold, for drinking on or off the premises - in a position where they will authorise the sale of alcohol to the public.

What's covered?

The course includes the role and duties of the designated premises supervisor, unauthorised licensable activities, permitted temporary licensable activities. For full details go to www.biiab.org.

What's the exam like?

Its multiple-choice exam with 40 questions. It covers all aspects of the law and social responsibilities in relation to the sale of alcohol to the public. To pass you need to answer correctly 5 out of 5 key (“compulsory”) questions plus 24 out of the other 35 questions. This compulsory section acts as a good defence of the candidate's personal licence as they have displayed due diligence in case of prosecutions.
