Course description

This qualification is delivered face to face and is aimed at individuals looking to move in to the hospitality and retail industries with responsibilities for the sale of alcohol but whose licence is due to expire soon. Successful completion of this course enables you to apply for your personal licence. This course includes two free resits of the SCPLH-R exam. Overview The Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 requires all personal licence holders to undertake refresher training within 5 years of the issue of their licence.

They must also submit evidence that the training has been passed to the relevant licensing board within 3 months of the 5-year anniversary.
