E-learning: Highfield Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders (Online)

The Licensing Act 2003 makes it a legal requirement for all retail sales of alcohol to be authorised by a Personal Licence holder. In addition, all premises licensed to sell alcohol must have a Designated Premises Supervisor in place, who is a Personal Licence holder. In order to obtain a Personal Licence one of the requirements is the holding of a recognised licensing qualification.

We are accredited with Highfield to deliver the Level 2 Award for Personal Licence Holders (APLH) the qualification required for obtaining a personal licence for the retail sale of alcohol. Other training providers are available – you do not have to use our services.

The course is aimed at supervisors, managers and owners of businesses who will be required to authorise the sale of alcohol to other staff members. It is also suitable for those wishing to refresh their knowledge and receive updates on changes to licensing law.

Topics you will cover on the course are as follows:

• Licensing law
• Personal licences
• Premises licences
• The protection of children
• Powers and enforcement
• Temporary events
• Responsible alcohol retailing

You should expect to spend 4-5 hours completing the course content.

This is a full e-learning package where you will undertake all components fully remotely using Highfield's learning applications. Once enrolled, you will be able to progress through the e-learning at your own pace. You will also have access to an electronic copy of the course handbook and test your knowledge with a mock exam. Support will be available through Highfield as well as one of the nominated tutors, who will be an experienced licensing officer.
