Personal Licence Training for running a pub

Online, January 25, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Under the terms of the Licensing Act 2003, anyone who wishes to sell alcohol in England & Wales must be the holder of a personal licence or be authorised by a personal licence holder. Any new applicant for a personal licence must first undergo personal licence training and pass the exam which secures the NCPLH qualification.
Inn Confidence provides personal licence training at over 100 locations each and every month and our candidates gain the BIIAB National Certificate for Personal Licence Holders (NCPLH) after passing the 40 question multiple-choice exam, the pass mark being 28 out of 40.
Effective personal licence training will equip candidates with the knowledge to be able to sell alcohol by retail in a socially responsible way, whether this is in a pub, a shop, a restaurant or anywhere where such sales of alcohol occur. In each premises where alcohol is sold, there must be at least one personal licence holder to sell the alcohol or authorise the staff to sell the alcohol on his or her behalf.
Our personal licence training is delivered by award winning trainers and is conducted in one-day. A comprehensive handbook is sent to candidates for pre-class study. Candidates with the highest marks in the exam have usually spent some time to look through this NCPLH handbook in advance of their class date and attempted the specimen exam questions that can be found on the downloads section of our website www.innconfidence.co.uk
After completion of the personal licence training, a person who has passed the NCPLH exam can then apply to their local licensing authority for a personal licence. A personal licence holder is entitled to sell alcohol within any appropriately licensed premises in England and Wales for a period of ten years.
A personal licence training candidate does not need to have a pub before the training. It would be advisable for anyone looking to run a pub to do the personal licence training first, gain the BIIAB NCPLH qualification, apply for their personal licence and then be in a strong position to make approaches to local pub companies to run a pub.
Candidates who have completed the personal licence training have the confidence and the legal knowledge to be able to manage licensed premises effectively and under the legal framework of the Licensing Act.
